All the lonely nights I spend alone 
Never 'round to love me 
You're 
always gone 
'Cause you're hangin' out 
Breakin' the rules 
Oh the man 
has come 
Lookin' for you 

You're a rebel now 
Don't give a damn 

Always carrying on 
With the gang 
I'm tryin' to tell ya boy 
It's 
a mistake 
You won't realize 
'Til it's too late 

Don't understand 

Why you insist 
On ways of living such a dangerous life 
Time after 
time you stay away 
And I just know that you're telling me lies 


Chorus : 
Black cat nine lives 
Short days long nights 
Livin' 
on the edge 
Not afraid to die 
Heart beat real strong 
But not for 
long 
Better watch your step 
Or you're gonna die 

You're so 
together boy 
But just at a glance 
You'll do anything 
If given the 
chance 

Scheming, plannin' lies 
To get what you need 
So full of 
promises 
That you never keep 

Don't you tell yourself 
That it's 
okay 
Sick and tired of 
All of your games 
And you want me to stay 

(Aww) Better change 
Makes no sense to me 
Your crazy ways 


[Chorus]
