All the lonely nights I spend alone
Never around to love me

You're always gone
Cause you're hangin out
Breakin' the rules

Oh the man has come
Looking for you
You're a rebel now

Don't give a damn
Always carrying on
With the gang

I'm trying to tell you 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

Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat

Real strong
But not
For long

Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die


You're so together boy
But just at a glance
You'll do anything

If given a chance
Scheming, plannin lies
To get what you need

So full of promises
That you never keep


Don't you tell yourself
That it's okay
Sick and tired of

All of your games
And you want me to stay
Better change

Makes no sense to me
Your crazy ways


Black cat
Nine lives
Short days

Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die

Heart beat
Real strong
But not

For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die
