Never 'round to love me
 You're always gone
 'cause you're hangin' out
 Breakin' the rules
 Oh the man has come
 Looking for you
 You're a rebel now
 Don't give a damn
 Always carrying on
 With the gang
 I'm trying to tell you boy
 It's a mistake
 You won't realize
 'til it's too late
 Don't understand
 Why you insist
 On ways of living such a dangerous life
 Time after time you stay away
 And I just know that you're telling me lies

 CHORUS:
 Black cat nine lives
 Short days long nights
 Livin' on the edge
 Not afraid to die
 Heart beat real strong
 But not for long
 Better watch your step
 Or you're gonna die

 You're so together boy
 But just at a glance
 You'll do anything
 If given a chance
 Scheming, plannin' lies
 To get what you need
 So full of promises
 That you never keep
 Don't you tell yourself
 That it's okay
 Sick and tired of
 All of your games
 And you want me to stay
 Better change
 Makes no sense to me
 Your crazy ways

 CHORUS
