lyrics

Believing baby what I see
You feel it with the feeling that it talks to me
My Angel’s sitting next to me and I feel fine

Believing baby all day long
You feel it when its coming at you ten foot strong
You’re feeling as she moves along that that’s all right

This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
Strays strays strays strays stray
Strains strains strains to stay awake

Confessing baby danger’s game
You know in that its’ easier when there’s no names
You’re the only one that’s there for me to ease my mind

You’re prowling down deserted streets
He’s sitting there, the cheetah drumming slower beats
The lion lyin’ in the fire, he bleeds my name

This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
Strays strays strays strays stray
Strains strains strains to stay awake

I see you baby late at night
I’m beggin’ baby, beggin’ please turn out that light
In the something here that don’t feel right, I hide my shame

Dogs and cats are birds of prey
We beat them baby, beat them when they disobey
They’re pets that mimic our mistakes and they’re where I hide

This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
Strays strays strays strays stray
Strains strains strains to stay awake


Pretending that I feel no pain
I’m strolling as I twirl my stopwatch from a chain
I’m cruising with an attitude and I’m a liar

This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
This is how the cat strays
Strays strays strays strays stray
Strains strains strains to stay awake
