Fat Cat

1. see him up there smiling down on you
   chasing his tail while he steps down on you
   saving pennies for a rainy day
   the little mouse will have his day

(chorus) Fat Cat,
                who cries for you
                on a rainy day
                when your dreams are gone
                will they go and pray
                Fat Cat
                howl all alone
                on the coldest night
                as the winds have blown

(bridge) take a look in the mirror
                look what you've become
                ruling by fear and not by love

2. scratching at me not knowing what for
   not for him but the one next door
   someday the tides will turn yesterday
   you'll wake up but it is gone away
(chorus)
