Track Insight / Lyrics
You wipe the counter down at midnight
Black coffee keeps your eyes wide
The regulars order pie and silence
Halloween creeps up outside
Black cat walks the wet slate ridges
October wind through chimney bridges
Tail flicks slow past chimney stacks
Nine lives balanced on the cracks
You watch the cat from kitchen glass
Grease pops loud as orders pass
Ears tilt sideways, fur stands raised
Something moves in backyard haze
Regular Joe asks for refill
You pour slow, eyes on rooftop still
The cat arches, fur stands electric
Halloween night feels hectic
Black cat walks the wet slate ridges
October wind through chimney bridges
Tail flicks slow past chimney stacks
Nine lives balanced on the cracks
Kitchen timer dings like church bell
Order up, break the wicked spell
You plate the eggs, the cat is gone
Dawn breaks pale on wet slate lawn
Coffee cold in ceramic mug
You shrug and pull the dishrag rug
Black cat rooftop, just a story
Told to pass the morning glory
Black cat walks the wet slate ridges
October wind through chimney bridges
Tail flicks slow past chimney stacks
Nine lives balanced on the cracks
Grill goes cold, the night shift ends
Black cat rooftop, round the bend
