Virtue

virtue is relative at best
 there's nothing worse than a sunset
 when you're driving due west
 and i'm afraid that my love
 is gonna come up short
 there is no there there
 and i guess i'm scared
 'cause i want to have good news to report
 every time i come up for air
 now i'm cruising through a chromakey blue sky
 but i know that in an hour or three
 the sun is gonna be in my eyes
 and i know that sometimes all i can see
 is how i feel
 like the whole world is on the other side
 of a dirty windshield
 and i'm trying to see through the glare
 yeah i'm struggling just to see what is there
 the one person who really knows me best
 says i'm like a cat
 yeah the kind of cat that you just can't pick up
 and throw into your lap
 no the kind who doesn't mind being held
 only when its her idea
 yeah the kind that feels what she decides to feel
 when she is good and ready to feel
 and now i am crawling through the backyard
 i am hiding under the car
 i have gotten out of everything
 i've gotten into so far
 i eat when i am hungry
 and i travel alone
 just outside the glow of the house
 is where i feel most at home
 but in the window you sometimes appear
 and your music is faint in my ear
