lyrics

Ups and downs, that’s just how my life goes, depression and sorrow I’ve overdosed
Now I hope that the worst is behind me, I weathered the storm and no-one ever helped me
Nothing has ever been easy or free, middle class whitey with not much money
I was often on the rocks, But I’ve lived through it and have always heard this little vox
that was telling me never to give up cuz the best would was coming up
I’ve always been wild but lonely, like a stray cat in a city

All these past years I bit the dust, the lust for life as a co-pilot
But now I always land on my feet, even when streets are badly lit
Don’t try to stand in my way, if I were you I’d keep away
Every night I sharpen my claws, the cats obey their own laws

Engaged in a fight for independence, don't mess with me or I will make you shit your pants
Don't lock me up inside or I'll kick you out, I get nervous when I feel trapped like a rat
This cat’s life doesn’t have a place for mistakes, if you fuck up, there’s no beefsteaks
Tomorrow may never come, I’m not waitin for any angels, just a phone call from my mom
Many times I wonder if it'll get better/ sometimes freedom let me feel a little bitter
My loneliness grows & my sorrow's stronger/ I gets me down but I get by without downer
There is not much to expect from this life on earth / I’ve reached the abyss, there is no bliss
The game is over when you know you're cursed/ I’ve reached the abyss, there is no bliss
