Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,  
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,  
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin’ strong,  
You don’t wanna save me, sad is my song

And all the roads we have to walk are winding  
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don’t know how

I’ll elude you, I will lose you  
As rehearsal of my despair

When I fell, like someone to die for  
And I fell, like someone to die on

You can’t wake up, can’t wake up

Many a head snapped for double–even triple–takes as this vivacious  
Feline made her her way into the delta of the alleyway where the most  
Virile of the young tabbies were known to hang out  
They hung in droves  
Such a multitude of masculinity could only be found in one place  
And that was O’Malley’s Alley
