Cat and Mouse Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty
Album: Sleepwalking

As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoon
When you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go
With a fool like you, I will say anything you want me to
With a fool like me, Iâ‚¬â„¢m amazed at how you take it all so seriously.

People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they know
But Iâ‚¬â„¢m runninâ‚¬â„¢ out of alibis, I got one thing left that I canâ‚¬â„¢t deny
Yes Iâ‚¬â„¢m doinâ‚¬â„¢ time, doinâ‚¬â„¢ time, and it wonâ‚¬â„¢t be long â‚¬Ëœtil I cross that line
Yes the day will come when itâ‚¬â„¢s time to go, you better get ready, â‚¬Ëœcause now you know.

In a place like this, you abandon all hope, you just exist
You canâ‚¬â„¢t break the spell, well you know youâ‚¬â„¢re not in heaven, but you might be in hell.

People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they know
But Iâ‚¬â„¢m runninâ‚¬â„¢ out of alibis, I got one thing left that I canâ‚¬â„¢t deny
Yes Iâ‚¬â„¢m doinâ‚¬â„¢ time, doinâ‚¬â„¢ time, and it wonâ‚¬â„¢t be long â‚¬Ëœtil I cross that line
Yes the day will come when itâ‚¬â„¢s time to go, you better get ready, â‚¬Ëœcause now you know.

As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoon
When you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go.

Yes Iâ‚¬â„¢m runninâ‚¬â„¢, runninâ‚¬â„¢, runninâ‚¬â„¢, runninâ‚¬â„¢
Yes Iâ‚¬â„¢m runninâ‚¬â„¢, runninâ‚¬â„¢, runninâ‚¬â„¢, runninâ‚¬â„¢
