lyrics

Shaken awake, under attack
A pounding shaking the foundations in the back
More bump and thump than pit-a-pat
So stick a toe out in the cold mumbling be right back
The lightest step to find there's nothing to look at
And then it's back to bed good luck with that

Now introduce a little doubt
A seed of worry creep across a wrinkled brow
The mind is on, the lights are out
Without a positive ID no telling what's about
So up again in an attempt to flush them out
And now there's no mistaking

It's the truth, yeah yeah
Cats on the roof, yeah yeah
Ok and now the gauntlet's down
Rush out with just the boots on swinging

You new people think you're tough
You left the left-side window open just enough
For me to do my stuff
If it's a war you want I'll be the first to call that bluff
Stop when my position becomes clear enough
And now you can't deny it

It's the truth, yeah yeah
Cats on the roof, yeah yeah
We've been here for years you'd best steer clear
Or just revise your thinking

Woke up from protracted sleep, the ice was melting
Stretching limbs I thought of dreams and what they might mean
A thousand things I put on hold for the time being
Time to rise and tend to them or go back to sleep

It's the truth, yeah yeah
Cats on the roof, yeah yeah
Let's call a truce, yeah yeah
Cats own the roof, yeah yeah

And now the wire paying out
Press down the plunger hard and look out
