Trouble come, trouble will
Find a way in a shape or pill
There's just one thing left for me to do
Yeah, I hate the trip but I got to go
Let it stand and the record show I
did my best but I came out short again
So I better start and lose the fight
The sun don't shine in the dead of night
As a matter of fact, honey, nothing really does
You take it from me,
I know it's right In the long dark night all cats are like
They hiss and they scratch They keep you up at night
But sooner or later it works out fine Set the hook and toss the line
If I learned one thing It's everything and that
Like serpents hiss,
my women cry Villains smile and blink their eye
Now I don't know what you heard But I didn't do that,
I promise
You see,
people talk and people lie Mothers cry and soldiers die
And that's the way it works, it seems today
You take it from me,
I know it's right In the long dark night all cats are like
They hiss and they scratch
They keep you up at night
But sooner or later it works out fine Set the hook and toss the line
If I learned one thing
It's everything and that
The
kings and
queens and robbers too
Fairy tales got me black and blue And mighty gets the girl,
he's a handsome son of a god
Way out yonder on the checkered sky
The sun will rise and the questions why
Some men win and others are bound to lose
You take it from me,
I know it's right In the long dark night all cats are like
They hiss and they scratch
They keep you up at night
But sooner or later it works out fine Set the hook and toss the line
If I learned one thing
It's everything and that
