lyrics

Sometimes when it snows it blocks my window
And I can’t see anything at all but I talk it off
I talk to my cat and my dog and anyone else who will listen

Well how you doing mister
the store clerk said to me
Guess she mistook my haircut for masculinity
I just laughed it off
The things people say are free
and they're anybody's business
But I just don't feel like me

Well I always buy low but I never sell anything at all
That’s why all I have in my lowly portfolio
Is polaroids and paintings
Nobody wants to frame
I just keep them in a dresser drawer next to my empty piggy bank

Please hire me, my family won't find me so embarrassing

Sometimes when it snows it blocks my window
And I can’t see anything at all but I talk it off
I talk to my cat and my dog and anyone else who will listen

Well well well well how you doing mister
Don’t miss this opportunity
I’m gonna be the biggest thing that you're never gonna see again
Don't make me wear your price tag
And I won't question your fee
Why do I feel like a con artist just for asking to be taken seriously

Sometimes when it snows it blocks my window
And I can’t see anything at all but I talk it off
I talk to my cat and my dog and anyone else who will listen

Sometimes when it snows it blocks my doorways
And I don’t leave my house for days
But I walk it off
I walk for miles around my kitchen ‘til I can’t stand up straight

Oh oh oh oh god Mr. Death please don’t take me
As a person you will find that I was most devoid of poetry
When I’m a spirit you will see that all that’s left of me is
My righteous indignity
(And cab fare)

Sometimes when it snows it blocks my window
And I can’t see anything at all but I talk it off
I talk to my cat and my dog and anyone else who will listen

Sometimes when it snows it blocks my doorways
And I don’t leave my house for days
But I walk it off
I walk for miles around my kitchen ‘til I can’t stand up straight
I walk for miles around my kitchen ‘til I can’t stand up straight

about

Pacing San Jose, California

Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue. McTigue’s writing style has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age, 2022), an “off-kilter and wonderfully weird world” (CLOUT, 2022), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources). Despite her safety net of colorful characters, jokes, and metaphors, the real her always manages to slip in somewhere. ... more
