Black cat down the alley
A riot at the city hall
An upcoming rally
And they're building a wall
I couldn't care less
'bout the marching on the streets
I listen for your footsteps
Just tryin' to keep the beat
Tomcat's been missin'
Since you went away
Prowlin' 'round the graveyard
That's what they say
Say God cursed this city
Say God cursed our home
It sure is a pity
Ol' tomcat's gone
Rats big as cats
Satan gets his share
It's a town of plenty
N' evil everywhere
Adam raised a Cain
Gonna lead a better life
I'll meet you at the train
Better bring me knife
Oh, hear them cats moan
From the pines to the rooftops
I hear their song
Oh, I hear them moan
From the pines to the rooftops
I hear their song
Wait a minute
There's blood at your door
Didn't come to meet me
See a crowd, hear a roar
There's a fire 'hind the fence
And a rope from a tree
Black cat on the branch
Looking down at me
