One hell of a cat

V6

[INTRO - MALE VOCALS - DJ_DEVIL_DEATH - SPOKEN] Now every house has got a cat... But this one? This one ain't normal. Heh... You see... Most cats chase mice. This one chases souls. [VERSE 1] There once was a cat with a black little coat, He had purple eyes and a devilish throat. He'd sit on the porch when the moon turned red, Then lick his black paws while he watched you in bed. He'd scratch on the window, tap on the glass, You'd pull down the curtain... But he'd already passed. You'd look to the left, you'd look to the right, Then hear little footsteps walking through the night. Tap... Tap... Tap... On the floor. Then three little scratches right under your door. [CHORUS] He's one hell of a cat, with a hell of a grin, You can lock every window but he still gets in. He'll creep through the dark, he'll crawl through your dreams, Then sit on your chest while you scream and scream. Meow, meow... What was that? Turn on the light... One hell of a cat. [VERSE 2] He had a little bell hanging down from his neck, But when that bell rang you'd better show some respect. Ding-ding... Ding-ding... Then silence again. The cat disappeared but the nightmare began. He'd knock over candles, he'd open the drawers, He'd leave bloody paw prints all over the floors. He'd sit in the kitchen and stare at the wall, Then smile at the corner like somebody called. I asked him one night, "Who the fuck's there?" He slowly turned around... And pointed upstairs. [CHORUS] He's one hell of a cat, with a hell of a grin, You can lock every window but he still gets in. He'll creep through the dark, he'll crawl through your dreams, Then sit on your chest while you scream and scream. Meow, meow... What was that? Turn on the light... One hell of a cat. [BRIDGE - SPOKEN] Now here's the thing about cats... They always land on their feet. But this one? He doesn't fall. He climbs. Up the walls... Across the ceiling... Right above your fucking head. [LOW LAUGH] And if you hear him purring... Don't look up. [VERSE 3] One night that cat walked straight through the door, Then stopped in the hallway and stared at the floor. A tiny red toy rolled out from the dark, He chased it three times then stopped with a bark. Wait... Cats don't bark. He turned his head slowly and looked straight at me, Then spoke in a voice that was deep as the sea. "Little human... come follow me." I said, "Fuck that." He said, "Good answer." Then vanished beneath the old wooden floor. [FINAL CHORUS] He's one hell of a cat, and he's back at the door, You can hear his little bell like you heard it before. Ding-ding... Ding-ding... He's calling your name, And once he picks you... You're part of the game. Meow, meow... Hear that sound? He's walking in circles all around the house. Meow, meow... Where's he at? Too late, motherfucker... One hell of a cat. [OUTRO - WHISPERED] So if you see a black cat sitting under the moon... Don't pet him. Don't feed him. And whatever you do... Don't let him in. [SOFT MEOW] Good kitty... [EVIL LAUGH]
