	no. 4 (cat woman's love meow)



	walking down the ally you thought you were safe i thought you were too but then i felt a pulse rising up in my throat growl hiss, purr, ssst and pointy little ears sticking out of my head turning like radar after words that you said felt a beat in my feet as they followed your trail a tune in my head, a flick in my tail wanna put on my vinyl and lick ya just polish my teeth and nick ya tap my feet and kick ya you walking down the alley with your big man steps thought you were tough but you haven't had it rough yet yowl i was waiting in the shadows all shiny and black you never even heard the swish or the crack cats don't tear but take neat little bites bite into those arms, all tender and white seems like years I've been watching the street blinking in the dark biding my time holding my breath listening for steps waiting for your shadow to come down the alleyway looking for a short cut or just an easy way you can get there if you let me put on my vinyl and lick ya put on my meow and sic ya take out my whip and flick ya make you all hot and quick, yeah
