lyrics

Nine Lives

A sudden occurrence out of
Unexpected clear blue sky
Drifting along like nothin's wrong
That's no way to spend my time

That was me firing
All night long
Cat nines!

Lay out a little while, girl
Slowly mend in time
Snap right back to front and forget about me
Slowly fades 'til dawn

As far as I can see
Things haven't changed between you and me
We carry on with every breath
Every indifference in the world

That was me firing
All night long
Cat nines!
Only a select group of patrons will be allowed on that bus

Take your time and lay out a little while, girl
Slowly mend in time
Snap right back to front and forget about me
Slowly fades 'til dawn

Take your time and lay out a little while, girl
Slowly mend in time
Snap right back to front and forget about me
Slowly fades 'til dawn

That was me firing
All night long
Cat lives!

Occurring suddenly
Out of an empty, clear blue sky
Drifting along like nothin's wrong
That's no way to spend my time
