Counting shadows on the alley walls tonight
Hey, my little kitty
Looking pretty
Love at first sight
Prowling down the streets of the city
I'm kicking it out
You can't take me along
Looking for a meal
Settle for a snack
Blow my whistle real loud
But keep the dogs off my back
Hanging out on the edge of the city
Checking it out
Can't cage me
I'm just a stray
Too far from home
Hounded by wolves
I'm running along
The one that I chase is the only one that I own
I'm eight lives gone
Crushing in the can
Trying to find my way home
Chasing down the trash
Where the back ends roam
Hold me tight around the collar
Choke me in front
Hit me harder
I'm just a stray
Too far from home
Hounded by wolves
I'm running along
The one that I chase is the only one that I own
I'm eight lives gone
Back on the street
Living the dream
Walking the edge
I'm too tough to care
Down to the bone
Got only one life to spare
I'm eight lives gone
Got to get up
Live it up
Keep it up
Cause it's time to show
Making my way
Come to play
Here to stay
But I can't pass go
Killing my time
With a lie
Feeling fine
So could've drowned
Full of life
Won't take me alive
Chasing shadows on the alley walls tonight
Hey, my little kitty
Looking pretty
Love at first sight
Prowling down the streets of the city
I'm kicking it out
Please, please me
I'm just a stray
Too far from home
Hounded by wolves
I'm running along
The one that I chase is the only one that I own
I'm eight lives gone
Back on the street
Living the dream
Walking the edge
I'm too tough to care
Down to the bone
Got only one life to spare
I'm eight lives gone
I'm just a stray
Too far from home
Hounded by wolves
I'm running along
The one that I chase is the only one that I own
I'm eight lives gone
