YEAROF

THECAT
1 minute
03 seconds
On a morning

from a Bogart movie
In a country where

they turn back time
You go strolling
through the crowd like

Peter Lorre
contemplating a crime
She comes out
of the sun in a silk dress

running like a
watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking
for explanations

she'll just tell you
that she came
In the year of the cat
Instrumental
14 seconds
She doesn't give you
time for questions

as she locks up
your arm in hers
And you follow till
your sense of

which direction
completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls

near the market stalls

there's a hidden door
she leads you to
These days
she says I feel my life

just like a river
running through
The year of the cat
Instrumental
14 seconds
Well she looks at you

so cooly
And her eyes shine
like the moon in the sea
she comes in incense
and patchouli
So you take her

to find what's
waiting inside
The year of the cat
Instrumental

1 minute
20 seconds
And you've thrown away
your choice

and lost your ticket
so you have to stay on
But the drum-heat strains
of the night remain
in the rhythm of the
new-horn day
You know sometime
you're bound

to leave her

but for now
you're gonna stay
In the year of the cat
Instrumental

13 seconds
Mmm year of the cat
