lyrics

Try to bring my feet in step with yours,
Walk right into the door,
And it serves me right

Every other show here is a bore,
But I’m by your side
Every Saturday night

And you can pepper me with questions every time,
But I already took your answers and I made them mine

Do you notice that I mimic how you talk?
I don’t even mean to, I just can’t resist

Like Kirby’s neutral B in Brawl,
I inhale pretty people, leave them
Covered in my spit

It’s a bad behavior that’s hard to defend
And recently, I’ve been trying to stop
At least I get a replica crown out of it,
Or tiara, or whatever it’s called

Im deficient, hollow down my feet,
A collection of some quick facsimiles,
just a copy of a copy all the way down to the bottom
A jacket full of rats, a sub-par copycat

Your bring your feet in step with mine,
Pull me back outside,
And ask me for a favor

How could I possibly decline?
You’re my only line
To the other 30 flavors

And I’ll take any shortcut given to me
to match your speed and get a little closer
I copy every sound, but I fry and I squeak
Like a parakeet that’ll take any shoulder

It’s a bad behavior that's hard to defend,
And it gets harder and harder to stop
Maintaining a shape, just to keep yourself safe,
Til all the inner nature is lost

Im deficient in iron and vitamin D,
a sign the printer’s running out of ink,
A bad copy, a bad copy, a bad copy, a bad copy,
A bad copy cat
