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