Cat's Eye / Yellow Fever (Running) lyrics

Artist: Van Der Graaf Generator
Album: The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome

(Smith)

I was walking in the evening,i was
Looking for something good, clean, fine
Pure, straight, but instead I found
The bunker wall and gate
It was open: I was free. I gave a
Token guarantee, though I later knew i
Had promised more - with an i.o.u. i
Could scarcely score my way...oh
But I herald apocalypse anyway! i
Was a prime believer in the faith
Of 'i' :yellow fever in the cat's eye
I/and it's everything you
Want, own, love, hate, touch, dream
Trust; and it's everything you need
I got a heart like a rochet, i
Was out of control, I'd cleaned out
My pockets for some luck to show..
Really looking like a hopeless case
I found it in my hand, it was
The angry ace. he wants to talk to
Me, one on one, he wants to give
Me his professional opinion...but
I'm running; I just can't wait, i
Haven't got a moment to anticipate
Yes, I'm running, I just can't stop
I've got to get to the bottom just to
Get to the top, I've got the dark
Alleys and the open skies, I got
The yellow fever from the cat's eye

Oh - I'll let you know how it goes
In the ninth life
