Black cat, living' on the
Time after time, you stay away
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Oh, the man has come looking for you
Don't understand why you insist
Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights
And I just know that you're telling me lies
Living on the edge
Don't you tell yourself that it's okay
Scheming, planning lies to get what you need
And you want me to stay, ah, better change
Don't understand why you insist
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
On ways of living such a dangerous life
You're so together, boy but just at a glance
Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights
Man, I don't understand your ways
Better watch your step or you're gonna die
Better watch your step or you're gonna die
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Time after time, you stay away
Time after time, you stay away
Makes no sense to me, your crazy ways
I'm trying to tell you, boy, it's a mistake
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Heartbeat, real strong but not for long
Not afraid to die
Better watch your step or you're gonna die
'Cause you're hanging out, breaking the rules
You won't realize 'til it's too late
You're a rebel now, don't give a damn
You'll do anything if given a chance
Sick and tired of all of your games
So full of promises that you never keep
Heartbeat, real strong but not for long
Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights
Black cat, black cat
Heartbeat, real strong but not for long
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Always carrying on with the gang
Don't understand why you insist
And I just know that you're telling me lies
And I just know that you're telling me lies
