Look into that cold dismissive stare Ribbons of past lives are lying there Jade green eyes of mirrored mystery Roll back the tumbling years of history ~ This perfumed fur you understand Once lay beneath Cleopatra’s hand Emeralds about my neck were hung In happy days when I was young ~ A ships cat where I earned my bread Stalking the vermin as they fled Just to catch and not to eat I laid them at my captain’s feet ~ The cottage where my mistress dwells Dispelling curses, cackling spells Across the starry heavens wide We take a besom broomstick ride ~ You cared for me through my kitten days And you worry so when I go astray But when the full moon’s shining bright I'm but a creature of the night.

Cat.
Look into that cold dismissive stare Ribbons of past lives are lying there Jade green eyes of mirrored mystery Roll back the tumbling years of history ~ This perfumed fur you understand Once lay beneath Cleopatra’s hand Emeralds about my neck were hung In happy days when I was young ~ A ships cat where I earned my bread Stalking the vermin as they fled Just to catch and not to eat I laid them at my captain’s feet ~ The cottage where my mistress dwells Dispelling curses, cackling spells Across the starry heavens wide We take a besom broomstick ride ~ You cared for me through my kitten days And you worry so when I go astray But when the full moon’s shining bright I'm but a creature of the night.
