Quirky, slightly discordant guitar and quirky, slightly unhinged vocal. A bit stoney, if you'll pardon the pun.

Paper Cats is a lover's duo. We range through folk and anti-folk to rougher electrified rock and blues; Chris plays guitars--six string, twelve string, classical acoustic, electric, you name it--and Lauren mostly sings. Some of our work is Chris's solo guitar composition, some Lauren's solo ballads, but increasingly our work is collaborative, usually with Chris writing guitar parts and Lauren writing vocal parts. We are enjoying ourselves immensely.

Story behind the song
The guitar part was a complete accident, just goofing. It felt askew, and askew with regard to the way the world supposedly works. The lyric wouldn't come and wouldn't come, then came just about all at once, stuck in traffic in the Livermore Valley of all places.
Lyrics
There's whisky in my coffee cup There's whisky in my coffee cup The coffee must be nervous I thought it had quit drinking I don't understand the moon It's not made of milk at all. It's a rock that hangs in the sky like rocks don't. There's ashes in my coffee cup There's ashes in my coffee cup The whisky must be nervous I thought it had quit smoking But who am I to judge? I live on a rock that hangs in the sky like rocks don't. There's coffee in my coffee cup There's coffee in my coffee cup It must be getting sober But who am I to judge? I live on a rock that hangs in the sky like rocks don't.
