Stray Cat from Talking Turkey by The Desert Turkeys

Stray cat

when the sky is finished crying, a down pour of rain
the dust that settled and been washed down a drain
a moon so full, its fit to burst, might shower down in broken glass
down a blind alley, a cul-de-sac, Gut Tom is singing
with his eyes rolled back

chorus:
I got nine lives, dumb luck, I'm a stray cat down on love
I been skinned alive, kicked and cuss'd
I'm a stray cat, I'm down, but not out on love

now I know I've been here before, affairs of the heart
through revolving doors, the barman says I got deja vu
I said 'aint that French for a heart beaten black and blue
here I am another dead end, the bottle here is my only friend

chorus:
I got nine lives, dumb luck, I'm a stray cat down on love
I been skinned alive, kicked and cuss'd
I'm a stray cat, I'm down, but not out on love
