[Verse] A cat in the alley Sleek as a ghost Slipping through shadows Like butter on toast Whiskers twitch The moon’s his host [Prechorus] Paws silent Like secrets untold Eyes burn amber Stories unfold [Chorus] Oh that cat in the alley Doesn't need no tally He's got nine lives to roam Oh that cat in the alley King of the dark valley He always calls it home [Verse 2] A tin can rattles A fishbone prize He’s a thief of the night No disguise Streetlight flickers His kingdom lies [Bridge] Tail flicks once A shadow so sly Ruler of nothing But the moonlit sky His empire's quiet But his spirit flies [Chorus] Oh that cat in the alley Doesn't need no tally He's got nine lives to roam Oh that cat in the alley King of the dark valley He always calls it home
