Cat's Eye / Yellow Fever (Running)
Van Der Graaf Generator
I was walking in the evening, I was
Looking for something good, clean, fine
Pure, straight, but instead I found
The bunker wall and gate
It was open: I was free. I gave a
Token guarantee, though I later knew I
Had promised more, with an I.O.U
I could scarcely score my way, oh! But I herald apocalypse anyway!
I was a prime believer in the faith
Of I: Yellow fever in the cat's eye
And it's everything you
Want, own, love, hate, touch, dream
Trust, and it's everything you need
I got a heart like a rochet, I
Was out of control, I'd cleaned out
My pockets for some luck to show
Really looking like a hopeless case
I found it in my hand, it was
The angry ace, he wants to talk to
Me, one on one, he wants to give
Me his professional opinion, but
I'm running, I just can't wait
I haven't got a moment to anticipate
Yes, i'm running, I just can't stop
I've got to get to the bottom just to
Get to the top, I've got the dark
Alleys and the open skies, I got
The yellow fever from the cat's eye
I'll let you know how it goes in the ninth life
