the cat with one big EYE

the cat with one big EYE

Walked out the door the other day

Heading for my car 

Dropped my car keys on the grass 

Didn't know what for 

Heard a sound behind my back 

Didn't see a thing 

But didn't like the sound of it 

Was like a growwwwlllling..........

Scooped up the keys 

And did it quick

Scared of unseen foes 

I turned around and on the ground 

I stopped dead still and froze 

There was a cat with One big Eye 

Staring up at me 

Looking like a tiny panther

Hungry for such as me.......

I backed up slowly 

And ran away 

Hurried to my car 

But when I got to the side of the Ford 

The cat was already there 

Where ya going? the cat then asked 

And I didn't know what to say 

I'd never spoken to a cat before 

It was turning out to be a strange day.....

Uh...I'm...uh. um. .I'm going to work

I finally just blurted out 

And I looked around with one eye on the ground 

For someone to whom I could shout 

Just chill out, man, the cat then said 

It's not your day to die

Then the alarm clock screamed 

And it shattered the dream 

But all I could do was lie...

In a pool of sweat, sheets soaking wet 

So happy I could cry 

The dream was no more 

But when I opened the door..... 

There was the cat with One big Eye.
