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
"Return" was a meaningless name appended to this tune (which is what Chris does when he can't think of appropriate titles or isn't writing a song for a person or cat). But the lyric tells a defeatist's or cynic's story, I suppose.
Lyrics
Where are we going? I don't know I only know that I am lost Everyplace I go How did we get here? I can't tell It all looks the same to me It all looks like hell But that doesn't mean I give up That doesn't mean I give up What are we doing? Please don't ask You wouldn't want to know the truth Even if I knew Who's in control here? Do you have to ask? Just look for the sneering face In the smiling mask But that doesn't mean I'm afraid That doesn't mean I'm afraid Where are we going? I can't say It all looks the same to me Anyway what are we doing? Don't ask me I thought it was all a game - reality TV But that doesn't mean I don't care That doesn't mean I don't care
