"Black Cat" lyrics

"Black Cat"

Like the neighborhood cat, night fall
Day time she gets dressed in black
When the sunlight retires in the evening
What do you see?

I see the moon, and she's alright
I see the stars, they shine all night
I see the girl in the back of a bar
Rocking lines off the sink

And she's all mine, as evening pass by
To escape was like a good time
Much too fast child, but it's alright
If you let the good times roll, they come back

Like the neighborhood cat, night fall
Day time she gets dressed in black
When the sunlight retires in the evening
What do you hear?

I hear the life of the party
And it's a lively sound, baby
I hear the man playing guitar
On a few dollars and a dream

I hear the thunderous lightning
Something like Samuel J Hawkins
I hear them playing on the strings and the people
Who never wanna leave

But I take my time, and it's alright to take my time
In the evening to free your mind
I give you lightning, I give you thunder
I make it alright to free your mind
Alright, all night
Nightfall's the queen of the world
