Lyrics:

All the lonely nights I spend alone;
Never around to love me, you're always gone,
'Cause you're hanging out, breaking the rules;
Oh, the man has come looking for you...

(You're a rebel now!) Don't give a damn...
(Always carrying on) with the gang...
(I'm trying to tell you, boy:) It's a mistake;
(You won't realize) 'til it's too late...

Don't understand why you insist on ways of livin' such a dangerous life;
Time after time, you stay away, and I just know that you're telling me lies...

Black cat, nine lives - short days, long nights;
Livin' on the edge, not afraid to die...
Heartbeat, real strong, but not for long;
Better watch your step, or you're gonna die...

You're so together, boy, but just at a glance;
You'll do anything if given a chance...
Schemin', plannin' lies to get what you need;
So full of promises that you never keep...

(Don't you tell yourself) that it's okay;
(Sick and tired of) all of your games...
(And you want me to stay,) ah, better change;
(Makes no sense to me,) your crazy ways

Don't understand why you insist on ways of livin' such a dangerous life; (Hoo!)
Time after time, you stay away, and I just know that you're telling me lies...

Not afraid to die - guitar!

(Black cat...)
Black cat... man, I don't understand your ways... livin' on the edge.

Don't understand why you insist on ways of livin' such a dangerous life;
Time after time, you stay away, and I just know that you're telling me lies...

Black cat, nine lives - short days, long nights;
Livin' on the edge, not afraid to die...
Heartbeat, real strong, but not for long;
Better watch your step, or you're gonna die... (Sing it up!)

Black cat, nine lives - short days, long nights; (Yeah, yeah...)
Livin' on the edge, not afraid to die... (Don't, don't, don't you die...)
Heartbeat, real strong, but not for long;
Better watch your step, or you're gonna die...

Black cat...
Living' on the...
Heartbeat...
Better watch your step...
