Lyrics:
As I watch them
The cat, she is about you
Prowling for your secret charms
And whispers
And now, we see the cat
Upon the altar
She is the shadow in the night
Oh, she is about us
I'm blind, enchanted
As I watch them
Clawing toward you
How quickly they tremble
And fall silent
And now, we see the cat
Upon the altar
She is the shadow in the night
Oh, she is about us
And now, we see the cat
Upon the altar
She is the shadow in the night
Oh, that's just what I'm told
See how her tail curls
Watch the glint behind her eyes
It only takes a velvet paw
Amid the concrete
Oh, how she pins you with her gaze
How she breathes her ancient breath
Upon you
She would turn away her head
But there are heavy hands
That seek to trap her
And words like falling frost...
Deepest thrill of dusk
When dusk becomes a hunting creature
Low to the ground
Silent in her wrath and elegance
Tonight she stalks the creature
With two faces
And now, we see the cat
Upon the altar
She is the shadow in the night
Oh, she is about us
And now, we see the cat
Upon the altar
She is the shadow in the night
Oh, that's just what I'm told
She watches. She waits.
And when the world stills—she pounces.
