Cat In The Night

*Hear 3 free plays of Cat In The Night here

You were born to feel all of the suffering

can you light the way?

though you wanna stray away from

obviously they will say you're bluffin' it

and that you are crazed 

but you gotta stay 

'cause

after all

that lone star

helps you see

in the dark

and among 

the black cars

you must be 

who you are ...

Cat in the night

when they're burning out the light

lose that bottle in your jacket

and get on your motorbike

jump like -

Evel Knievel 

ooooh

Evel Knievel! 

Though you wanna run away

when they come to put you down

you know that you gotta stay

right here on the ground

and not be silent

no no 

you can be brave 

You were born to feel through

all their buffering

and you wanna say

that there is a way out of it

all the systematic

disempowerment

made to hide away

what is not ok

'cause

after all

in your heart

you know what's

in the dark

and you'll sing

it through art

'til we be

on an arc ...

Cat in the night

when they're burning out the light

lose that bottle in your jacket

and get on your motorbike

jump like -

Evel Knievel 

ooooh

Evel Knievel!

Though you wanna run away

when they come to put you down

you know that you gotta stay

right here on the ground

and not be silent

no no 

you can be brave 

Cat in the night

when the stars are shining bright

lose that bottle in your jacket

because

you know what is right

jump like

Evel Knievel 

Ooooh

Ride over evil ..

Let's go!
