All the lonely nights I spend alone
 Never around to love me
 You're always gone
 Cause you're hangin out
 Breakin' [bad word]  Oh the man [bad word]  Looking for you
 You're a rebel now
 Don't give a [bad word]  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

 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

 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
