Track Insight / Lyrics
Cobblestones still warm from the day
Neon puddles, stars wink at play
Hawkers gone, the cafes still sleep
A single cat with a flicker creep
Her fur ghost-gray, eyes burnished gold
Whispers secrets of the city's soul
Midnight prowler, queen of the night
Seeking refuge in the first light
In the hour of silence and shadows
She wraps herself in the misty havens
Her velvet paws, her emerald eyes
Paint the dark canvas of the city skies
The dawn's palette unfurls in hues
Of rose and gold, the night's reveille
The cat's ears twitch, her tail aloft
The first light drenches the sleeping loft
Massive synth surge, unison sawtooths
Vocal chops pitch-bend to the beat
808 heartbeat, snare rolls crisp
The cat's midnight reign now dissolves
She prowls to the Piazza Navona
Where Bernini cherubs seem to stroll on
The Fountain of the Four Rivers flows
As the cat plants her paws and knows
Her fur ghost-gray, eyes burnished gold
Whispers secrets of the city's soul
Midnight prowler, queen of the night
Seeking refuge in the first light
In the hour of silence and shadows
She wraps herself in the misty havens
Her velvet paws, her emerald eyes
Paint the dark canvas of the city skies
Then fades to black, the sun ascends
The cat retreats to her secret dens
But her spirit lingers on the breeze
A phantom echo of her midnight tease
Massive synths, sawtooths and vocoded
The 808 and snare, the beat goes coded
The cat's reverie now fades to white
As Rome awakens to the rising light
(Deep bass and soft reverb)
The eternal city holds her close
As morning breaks in the Roman rose
