I left my kitchen window open last night   And all that fresh cold air came rushing in   It gets so damn dark down here   Sometimes I want that steel blue air      The only plant I had just up and died   I feel so bad 'cause it's my fault   It was stone bone dry   It hardly ever saw the sun   It never saw the rain come down      I got a cat, so I'd have company   We seldom talk, he eats a lot   But seems to like me   My place has never been the same   I'd like to be alone again      I left my kitchen window open last night   I haven't seen the cat   He caught a midnight flight   It gets so damn dark down here   Sometimes I want that steel blue air
