Badge on a Bandit

[Intro] [spurs jingle… door swings… synth flicker] Half-step, tail flick, paws hit floor Badge on chest, but she’s still lore [Verse 1] Once ran the roads, carried her name Whiskers sharp, no one to tame Now she walks where the law is thin Half a grin, half a sin Boots tap fast, eyes dart sly Nothing hides from her, don’t even try Mama Kitty watches, calm, precise Let her play—pay her price [Pre-Chorus] She knows the secrets, she knows the game All the tricks, all the names [Chorus] Badge on a bandit, tail in a twist Law in her pocket, mischief on her wrist Every door swing, every glance She’s the shadow in a lively dance Step too close, she’ll slip away Half your truth, half what you say In Dustpaw Gulch, she runs the night A deputy… or a delight? [Verse 2] Cards on table, but she’s unseen Sliding past in a silver sheen Whispers follow, cats hold their breath Every move is flirting with death Ducati tips hat, crates in tow Twins spin past in mirrored flow Jacques slides coins, Tarz clips hair Sabrina serves, but watches where [Bridge] Bammer’s quiet, he sees it all Rowdy smiles, but she won’t fall Benny’s threads hide a secret or two In her hands, everything’s askew Quick step, sly grin, tail held high She can run… or just comply Mama Kitty nods, calm as stone She lets her loose—but keeps her own [Chorus] Badge on a bandit, tail in a twist Law in her pocket, mischief on her wrist Every door swing, every glance She’s the shadow in a lively dance Step too close, she’ll slip away Half your truth, half what you say In Dustpaw Gulch, she runs the night A deputy… or a delight? [Outro] [spurs jingle fades… piano and synth flutter] Half law, half chaos, all in play Dustpaw Gulch bends… her way One eye open, one paw light She’s gone before you see the night
