The Black Cat that crossed my path.

You are nothing but a cliché,
You used the L word every day.
Then you went and danced the slow dance,
 With that sad girl filled with romance.
Oh You are my unlucky charm.
You are my misery and harm.

I saw a black cat cross my path,
So I destroyed your photograph,
Hey I hope you had lots of fun,
I went and  bought myself a gun.


I went to the river  today,
That was where you happened to say,
That I was your beautiful star.
And you played our song on guitar.
We made love under the moon,
Sadly The morning came  too soon.

I saw a black cat cross my path,
So I destroyed your photograph,
Hey I hope you had lots of fun,
I went and  bought myself a gun.

Tonight I will hold my gun high,
And fire shots into the sky.
I’ll save a bullet for my heart.
And fall on the grass like a dart.
The people will never erase,
The  wide smile left on my face.

 

I saw a black cat cross my path,
So I destroyed your photograph,
Hey I hope you had lots of fun,
I went and  bought myself a gun.
