Cats are not lucky creatures

Well I heard you left your situation
I left a message, you didn't get back
I figured you hooked up with this one or that one

Cats always land on their feet, I thought
Staring at this beat-up old Tom in Tel Aviv
But they're not lucky creatures
None of us are lucky creatures, no, no, no

Well, I dug all through this dumpster
It was just full of empty bottles and I
Mewed toward the young girls that feed us

I jumped straight up when a scooter swerved toward us
And thanked whatever cat-hating god cats pray to
That I was still breathing, I'm still breathing
'Cause cats are not lucky creatures

We got our dignity, we fought for that
Yeah, but there's no money, there's time for that
Never worried about my belly, there's rats for that
Never worried about the future 'cause I'm a cat

We got our dignity, we fought for that
Yeah, but there's no money, there's time for that
Never worried about my belly, there's rats for that
I never worried about the future 'cause I'm a cat

I want to tell you about
Crisis after crisis
But I hate to bore you

So I swished my tail
About and my snout
In indignation

And I landed
And I landed on my feet

We got our dignity, we fought for that
Yeah, but there's no money, there's time for that
Never worried about my belly, there's rats for that
Never worried about the future 'cause I'm a cat

We got our dignity, we fought for that
Yeah, but there's no money, there's time for that
Never worried about my belly, there's rats for that
I never worried about the future 'cause I'm a cat
