Black Cat ("3 Snaps Up" 12" Version) Lyrics

Black cat nine lives, short days, long nights
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Heartbeat real strong but not for long
Better watch your step or you're gonna die

All the lonely nights I spend alone
Never 'round to love me, you're always gone
Constantly hanging out, breaking the rules
All the men have come looking for you

You're a rebel now, don't give a damn
Always playing on with the game
Oh, trouble boy, it's a mistake
You won't realize 'til it's too late

Don't understand why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies
Black cat nine lives, short days, long nights
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Heartbeat real strong but not for long
Better watch your step or you're gonna die

You're so together, boy, but just out of plans
You'll do anything if given a chance
Scheming, planning lies to get what you need
So full of promises that you never keep

You keep telling yourself that it's okay
So get tired of all of your games
And you won't be the same, oh, better change
Most won't trust in me, your crazy ways

Don't understand why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies
Black cat nine lives, short days, long nights
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Heartbeat real strong but not for long
Better watch your step or you're gonna die

Black cat nine lives, short days, long nights
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Heartbeat real strong but not for long
Better watch your step or you're gonna die
