The Runaway Cat

CUSTOM

[Intro – Witchy whisper, distant thunder, purring cat] Midnight… The Brocken sleeps… The moon is watching… But somebody's missing! Meow… Uh-oh! [Verse 1 – The Great Escape] Green fog rolling down the hill Witchy's house is dark and still Little black paws cross the floor One small jump — she's out the door! Past the cauldron, past the broom Past the shadows in the room Witchy dreams of spells and fame While her cat escapes the game! [Pre-Chorus – Rising synths] Over the mountain, under the moon That little cat is leaving soon No turning back, no looking down She's gonna find the biggest town! [Chorus – Big funky electro groove] Runaway cat, where you gonna go? Chasing the lights where the wild winds blow Pink neon nights and a violet sky Nobody knows, not even Witchy why! Runaway cat, you're out of control Nine little lives and a heart of gold From the Brocken woods to the streets of Rome You stole a witch's heart — now bring it home! [Verse 2 – Moonlight in Rome] Roman rooftops, midnight blue There's a curly-haired girl with a heart tattoo Frida's sitting by candlelight When a black cat appears in the night She brings out milk, she opens the door That little rascal wants a whole lot more One velvet cushion, one purring queen The finest cat in the Roman scene! [Pre-Chorus – Playful bass and handclaps] Frida says, "Girl, where have you been?" The cat just washes her paws again A little purr, a sleepy yawn And suddenly the night is gone! [Chorus – Full backing vocals] Runaway cat, where you gonna go? Chasing the lights where the wild winds blow Pink neon nights and a violet sky Nobody knows, not even Witchy why! Runaway cat, you're out of control Nine little lives and a heart of gold From the Brocken woods to the streets of Rome You stole a witch's heart — now bring it home! [Verse 3 – Witchy's Bad Mood] Witchy wakes at half past three "Where's that cat supposed to be?" Checks the cellar, checks the shed Finds one pawprint by her bed She tries a spell, she tries a charm She checks the forest, checks the barn Her crystal ball begins to glow And shows a cat in Rome below! [Bridge – Witchy's spell, whispered voices] Violet smoke and emerald fire Show me what I most desire Through the darkness, through the blue That little thief is with Frida — I knew! [Spoken – Witchy, furious] SHE'S IN ROME?! [Spoken – Frida, laughing from a distance] Would you like some coffee, darling? [Verse 4 – The Journey Back] Frida packs her leather coat Leaves a little farewell note "Your cat is safe, she's quite a star But Rome and the Brocken are rather far!" Through the night and silver rain Past the hills and down the lane Frida walks beneath the trees With a purring passenger at ease [Verse 5 – The Great Reunion] Green mist dancing on the ground Witchy's standing, arms crossed round Frida smiles, "She's all yours now!" The cat just purrs — and takes a bow! Witchy stares with narrowed eyes The cat performs her sweetest lies Then Frida laughs, the tension breaks And Witchy gives the cat some cakes! [Final Chorus – Huge, joyful, theatrical] Runaway cat, now you're back at home No more midnight trips to Rome! Pink and purple, green and blue There's a little magic in all we do! Runaway cat, you're out of control Nine little lives and a heart of gold From the Brocken woods to the streets of Rome You stole a witch's heart — now stay at home! [Outro – Funky bass fades, cat purring] Witchy: "You're grounded!" Frida: "She's a cat, darling!" Witchy: "No midnight flights!" Cat: Meow! [Whispered cat voice] Tomorrow… Amsterdam? [Cat purrs – final synth stab] MEOW!
