Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three, come on [Verse 1] All the lonely nights, I spend alone Never 'round to love me, you're always gone 'Cause you're hanging out, breaking the rules Oh, the man has come lookin' for you [Verse 2] (You're a rebel now) Don't give a damn (Always carryin' on) With the gang (I'm tryin' to tell you, boy) It's a mistake (You won't realize) Till it's too late [Pre-Chorus] Don't understand why you insist On ways of livin' such a dangerous life Time after time, you stay away And I just know that you're tellin' me lies [Chorus] Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights Livin' on the edge, not afraid to die Heartbeat, real strong but not for long Better watch your step or you're gonna die [Verse 3] You're so together, boy, but just at a glance You'll do anything if given a chance Schemin', plannin' lies to get what you need So full of promises that you never keep [Verse 4] (Don't you tell yourself) That it's okay (Sick and tired of) All of your games (And you want me to stay) Oh, better change (Makes no sense to me) Your crazy ways [Pre-Chorus] Don't understand why you insist On ways of livin' such a dangerous life Time after time, you stay away And I just know that you're tellin' me lies [Bridge] Not afraid to die-ee-ie, guitar [Guitar Solo: Nuno Bettencourt] [Refrain/Bridge] (Black cat) Black cat Man, I don't understand your ways Livin' on the edge [Pre-Chorus] Don't understand why you insist On ways of livin' such a dangerous life Time after time, you stay away And I just know that you're tellin' me lies [Chorus] Fellas Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights Livin' on the edge, not afraid to die (Talkin' 'bout the man) Heartbeat, real strong but not for long Better watch your step or you're gonna die Sing it up Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights (Yeah, yeah) Livin' on the edge, not afraid to die (Come on and don't, don't you die) Heartbeat, real strong but not for long Better watch your step or you're gonna die
