Lyrics
“Happy Cats”
My shadow and I walk the walls
Bent back and abstract and tall
You called me down
I came around…
My shadow and I were a pair
Both long and dark and half-there
I walked the line
You caught me in time…
Chorus: Now you’re with me, I’m with you
If we could see this through,
We could be Happy Cats together
You’re with me, I’m with you
If we could see this through,
We could be Happy Cats together ~
It’s possible…
My Shadow ran off with some girl
Some sad nightclub singer in pearls
I see them sometimes
I’m doin’ fine…
(Chorus)
Bridge: Soft sighs and travesty
Opened my eyes and now I see
Nothin’ but blue skies ahead of me
Through you…
(Chorus)
Tag: Maybe you could hold me down
Maybe I could stay around
Maybe I don’t have to walk the walls
This time around ~
This time…
