about

This song is about the feeling of good luck and how the beautiful things in life almost seem to be within our reach.

lyrics

Cat Samba

Swear by the count
He’s gone past ten
You'd be wrong
Time and time again

Watch him jump
Tree to tree to tree
Hear the cans roll
Down the street

None of my business 
What he's in
Just a witness
To shenanigans

Where he's gone
I wouldn't hazard a guess
He always seems
To bury his mess

Kitties in the hood
Bring ‘em birds
Wrapped in leaves
The cat always lands
On his feet

Down a sewer pipe
Up a dead end
Swipin’ fish
Swingin’ that tail

Followed by dogs
Not his friends
Everyone wants
His business sense

Staying cool
Despite the dread
Keeping that beat
Between his legs

Shaking nine lives
Like a bell
Arching his back
Everyone’s still

Between the trap and mouse
Poison and the roach
Patient and the couch
There's an understanding 

Your luck will run out
You’ll be there for the count
When the man cues up
The heavy strings
