[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, clean electric guitar lead riff] [Verse 1] [Female vocals enter] They came in and found a glass of milk On a table worn and grey And they stayed because the cat who writes pens poems through the day [bass and drums enter] Some look for war, some look for love The night's a glass half blind But the lovers of the cat appear They're always there, always kind [Chorus] [full band, layered vocal harmonies] There are bad things, parasites Stalkers with their stares But there are wonderful things, smiles Friendship and cares I meet artists, lyricists, tightrope walkers of rhyme Of verses and sonnets spinning time And professionals who silently nod [vocal ad-libs: ba-ba-ba-ba] But the ones who stay, the ones who truly hear They know the cat won't bite, my dear The cat won't bite, no, no [Post-Chorus] [vocal ad-libs: ba-ba-ba-ba] [clean electric guitar melody] [Verse 2] Professionals who silently nod like trees that hear the street And in the shadows of a stage, the whiskers feel the beat I think of fairies of stolen glances, of brave ones tired and worn Who cross the room without a word, still holding on to dawn [Chorus] There are wonderful things, smiles Friendship and cares I meet artists, lyricists, tightrope walkers of rhyme Of verses and sonnets spinning time And professionals who silently nod [vocal ad-libs: ba-ba-ba-ba] But the ones who stay, the ones who truly hear They know the cat won't bite, my dear The cat won't bite, no, no He writes his verses in the milk Let the echoes grow [Outro] [acoustic guitar strumming fades out]
