cat's eye in the window - tommy james lyrics

chorus
there’s a cat’s eye in the window
looking at the haps that go undone.
taking in the rats, that’s not the evil,
the devil is the cat that’s got your tongue.

well, i went for a walk in the country
where they say the air is really fresh and clean.
i hear that mother nature doesn’t care for the city
but the people here are just as mean.
well, i came upon a beautiful mansion
and it was old, about three hundred years
and the gate was so rusty that i kicked it down
i walked closer, here’s how it appeared.
there were four huge pillars that were cracked so bad
that i couldn’t figure out how they stood
well, the gl-ss was all busted,
but, my god, the things must have once upon a time looked awful good
repeat chorus

it was many, many, many times a millionaire’s home
and the master must have been quite a man
but for some strange reason i became so mad
because i just could not understand
how could anybody build such a beautiful dream
and let it sit and rot and die in the sun
then it suddenly came to me the house was humanity
and history had finally won
i walked away with a terrible feeling
’cause i suddenly realized
i was looking at the epitaph of good mother earth
and i could hardly keep the tears from my eyes.
repeat chorus

cat’s eye in the window. cat’s eye.(repeat ad lib until fade ou
