Big City Cat lyrics
Song information
Artist: Steve Forbert Album: Alive On Arrival
Lyrics
Buildings an' people down under the skies I walk down the street lookin' out through my eyes I'm getting so skinny it hurts to sit down I'm deep in the well, I'm in the rat trap town
Where it's dirty for dirty, it's an eye for an eye It's a tooth for a tooth an' a sigh for a sigh An' ev'rything's edgy like musical chairs An' ev'ryone's lookin', but who really cares?
Well, I'm tryna get up, tryna laugh in my head I'm walkin' on eggs and I'm climbin' on thread There's motors an' traffic an' racket an' horns; My weary ol' stairway is wobbly an' worn
There a hissin' of heaters an' bangin' ol' pipes Screaming of women an' laughin' all night There's babies a-cryin' an' somebody's dog He's barkin' so loudly, there's a man in the hall..
Hell, it's some kinda lunatic followin' me He's down by the john so I can't take a pee I'm 's'posed t' be happy, I'm here where it's at I'm a face in the crowd, I'm a big city cat
