lyrics

Cats Know Me

Oh, the world is not my own, but I hope the cats know me.

They flirt in a far-out language.
They dig all the decadent places.
They’re wanted everywhere.

And if I join the hit parade,
The drunkards roll the alleyway,
Then the day will be elated.

I cut the sleeves from my clothing.
They smoke a few and adore me.
Now all the cats recognize me.
They’d have me anytime.

I’ll taste the terror of the salt.
I’ll tear out and outrun the cops,
And the day will be elated.

Everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows that all the other cats know me.

They’re all painting on a subway train.
They ridicule the holy name.
Hey, let the other cat show me.

And it’s a shame I didn’t turn around faster.
I pull my punches like a bastard.
Can I see you now in Egypt rooms,
With trays of velvet and vermouth?
I come now and not later.

Everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows that all the other cats recognize me.

And when the cats retreat,
Will they bring me on their way?
I can’t say. I can’t say. I can’t say.
But my day is elated.
