Skin The Cat Lyrics by Schnell Fenster

The Sound of Trees

0

Loving made so easy
Hurting made so hard
Underneath that precious fur
You know there beats an angry heart
Pretty as a picture
Everybody's pet
Maybe I'll get to tame her yet
I can't live with the ghost
You know I need you the most
Mama don't stamp out the fire
Let me sink into those golden eyes of desire

Hey man, why'd you skin the cat
Hey man, why'd you do that
Hey man, why'd you skin the cat

Curled up in the corner
Soaking up the sun
All it takes is one wild dog
To make her turn on her heels and run
This creature soft and gentle
Lives unwritten laws
It don't take much provocation
To bring out those vicious claws
I feel it the most
I can't live with the ghost
Mama don't stamp out the fire
Let me sink into those golden eyes of desire

Hey man, why'd you skin the cat
Hey man, why'd you do that
Hey man, why'd you skin the cat

Hey girl, can't you smell a rat
Hey man, why'd you do that
Hey man, why'd you skin the cat

Look at that creature
Sitting in the window
Soaking up the sun
Who'd have believed that feline thing
Could strike fear into the heart of anyone
Out the door into the dark
Across the street into the park
Kitten turns into a lion
Hunting for a pound of flesh
That she can lie on

Hey man, why'd you skin the cat
Hey man, why'd you do that
Hey man, why'd you skin the cat
Hey girl, can't you smell a rat
Hey man, why'd you do that
Hey man, why'd you skin the cat
