Black Cat Cabaret

A chill through your coat keeps you warm in the mist
Work's behind you but the stress persists
There's only one way that you know how to let it go
You don your best apparel
Now that hunger's getting feral
So you march down the same old path through the crowded streets
You take a left past the policeman
Down the alley to the red door calling you in
Black Cat Cabaret
Cross-legged, clutching your gin
God, this room is so fucking dim
You came for the piano
Why did you stay?
Thick smoke just lingers in the air
You run your fingers through your hair
You got me wondering how those nails feel piercing my skin
And I'd like to relieve this tension
That comes around when you mention my name
Black Cat Cabaret
Remember when I caught you by the wrist
I can't hear you but the sound persists
There's only one way that I know how to let it go
I feel I'm dressed to pay respects
Goodbye to what I need to forget
So I plod down the same old path through the crowded streets
I take a left past the policeman
I see that red door but I can't go through to the
Black Cat Cabaret.

New Hometown

I went walking on my own down to the shore
Met myself there he asked what the hell I was waiting for
And oh the scene was not serene
I couldn’t help but feel like my life was spinning round
And if I tell you I’m crazy I think you’ll know just what I mean
I think it’s time to leave this town
I went back to the place that I call my home
Looked around and realized I was really on my own
And oh the scene was not serene
I couldn’t help but feel like my life was spinning round
And if I tell you I’m crazy I think you’ll know just what I mean
I think it’s time to leave this town
And when I look back on your face
I look deep down and know it to be true
I gotta get the hell out of this place
Because I can’t stand you
I’m leaving tomorrow headed west as far as I can go
Don’t bother calling me ‘cause on the other end will be someone you don’t know
And there the scene is so serene
And I can’t help but feel like for better things I am bound, bound, bound, bound, bound
And if i tell you I’m sane it’s not you it’s all on me
I think I found my new hometown.

Call Me Up

Call me up, I ain’t coming out
I’m your Yes Man, but I’m giving up
I don’t want to play with you anymore
When you treat your toys like Sid next door
Yeah, babe, I heard your mating call
We were on the dancefloor after all
I still remember those bedroom eyes
You flash those baby blues and you get away with lies (but you can)
Call me up
Test your luck
Not gonna do what you want me to
I’ve been packing your bags but it’s not for you
I don’t wanna
Never gonna do what you want me to
Ain’t it a curse, being blessed?
Come on, girl, you can confess
Courting every boy, but you want more
Don’t call me your average score
But you can
Call me up
Test your luck
Not gonna do what you want me to
I’ve been packing your bags but it’s not for you
I don’t wanna
Never gonna do what you want me to
We got a little too close once
You could feel the static in the air
You had your toes curled up in the sand so you wouldn’t take off, dear
I remember that taste of first contact and me, wrapped up in your hair
Call me up
Test your luck
Not gonna do what you want me to
I’ve been packing your bags but it’s not for you
I don’t wanna
Never gonna do what you want me to
Call me up
Test your luck
Not gonna do what you want me to
I’ve been packing your bags but it’s not for you
I don’t wanna
Never gonna do what you want me to.

Like A House With Legs

Shipwreck on the shore
Don't really know what it's for
Don't really know what it's for
Now it's rising up
Water dripping out of its holes
Don't really know what it's for
What good is a home
If you can't leave it alone
No matter how you leave it
It will roam
We're howling at the moon
Darkness will come soon
Before the dawn
Like a house with legs
I won't sit and I won't stay
I will carry on
Third eye on my head
Don't know if it's live or it's dead
Don't know if it's live or it's dead
Now it's opening up
Sweat dripping out of my pores
Now I think I know what it's for
What good is a home
If you can't leave it alone
No matter how you leave it
It will roam
We're howling at the moon
Darkness will come soon
Before the dawn
Like a house with legs
I won't sit and I won't stay
I will carry on
We're howling at the moon
Darkness will come soon
Before the dawn
Like a house with legs
I won't sit and I won't stay
I will carry on.
