LYRIC FOR SALE

By Ann Trabucco

Verse 1
You wanted out, then wanted in,
Playin' games you'd never win.
Prowlin' circles then dialin' back,
You're in command or claws retract.
Verse 2
She did a double take, he made her jaw drop,
Went full speed ahead, then screeched to a stop.
Would get too close, cross a boundary line,
Then change his course like he changed his mind.
Chorus
Nine lives and alibis, it's an exhaustin' game,
Clean the board if you wanna clear your name.
Keep pushin' your luck till you're all alone,
Sinkin' in litter in your ego zone.
Verse 3
The cat is mellow 'til it's ready to pounce,
Expected a kilo but you got an ounce.
The mouse had a chance to leave the feline behind,
But a cat with nine lives never learns the signs.
Outro
Nine lives and alibis, you keep playin' the game,
Chasin' every mouse but rememberin' no names.
Claws may be sharp when you do what you please,
But this mouse is leaving town and taking the cheese!
