Cats in the cupboard
You've got to set him free
Cats in the cupboard you've got to set him free
Cats in the cupboard
You've got to set him free
Rats on the high street
You've got to let'em be
Rats on the high street
You've got to let'em be
Rats on the high street
Can't you let them be
While you're racing
People wasting
Life's enthralling
People are calling
While you're weeping
Blood is seeping
While you're dancing
No ones answering me
[Solo]
Cats? It's cool for rats!
Cats in the cupboard
You've got to set him free
Cats in the cupboard you've got to set him free
Cats in the cupboard
You've got to set him free
Rats on the high street
You've got to let'em be
Rats on the high street
You've got to let'em be
Rats on the high street
Can't you let them be
While you're racing
People wasting
Life's enthralling
People are calling
While you're weeping
Blood is seeping
While you're dancing
No ones answering me
Nobody's answering me
