Alley Cat Cipher

लिरिक्स

[Verse 1] I seen a shadow move By the bakery gate Small paws on the brick Then it vanished in the grate Yellow eyes on me Like it knew my name Tail flick, quick switch Never two the same It walk like it owns this block On silent feet Come through the fence gap Then it skip the street I swear it left a mark On the puddle's skin Three cats on the roof And I know one of them grin [Pre-Chorus] If you blink, it's gone If you chase, it slips Little black omen With the velvet hips [Chorus] Cat on the fence Cat on the fence It knows my scent Cat on the fence Cat on the fence Gone in a second Cat on the fence Cat on the fence It keeps my secrets [Verse 2] At the corner store Where the cold wind cut There was a tabby king With a torn-up nut Ear got a notch From a fight long back Still he held that pose Like he mapped my track On the fire escape By the second-floor glass Saw a gray face stare Then it moved real fast I tossed one fish bone It never touched ground But the alley got still Like it heard that sound [Pre-Chorus] If you blink, it's gone If you call, no reply Little moon thief With the sharp green eyes [Chorus] Cat on the fence Cat on the fence It knows my scent Cat on the fence Cat on the fence Gone in a second Cat on the fence Cat on the fence It keeps my secrets [Bridge] Old tin can saint Under broken stair Nine lives deep Like a prayer Every paw print Was a warning sign Every soft step Said the truth in time [Chorus] Cat on the fence Cat on the fence It knows my scent Cat on the fence Cat on the fence Gone in a second Cat on the fence Cat on the fence It keeps my secrets
