Cat's Eye In The Window Lyrics

Chorus

There's a cat's eye in the window

Looking at the haps that go undone.

Taking in the rats, that's not the evil,

The devil is the cat that's got your tongue.

Well, I went for a walk in the country

Where they say the air is really fresh and clean.

I hear that Mother Nature doesn't care for the city

But the people here are just as mean.

Well, I came upon a beautiful mansion

And it was old, about three hundred years

And the gate was so rusty that I kicked it down

I walked closer, here's how it appeared.

There were four huge pillars that were cracked so bad

That I couldn't figure out how they stood

Well, the glass was all busted,

But, my God, the things must have once upon a time looked awful good

Repeat chorus

It was many, many, many times a millionaire's home

And the master must have been quite a man

But for some strange reason I became so mad

Because I just could not understand

How could anybody build such a beautiful dream

And let it sit and rot and die in the sun

Then it suddenly came to me the house was humanity

And history had finally won

I walked away with a terrible feeling

'Cause I suddenly realized

I was looking at the epitaph of good Mother Earth

And I could hardly keep the tears from my eyes.

Repeat chorus

Cat's eye in the window. Cat's eye.(repeat ad lib until fade ou
