Lyrics The Cat Empire

The Cat Empire

Go

Now take a look at what you see

Do a little walking in your sleep

All around the garden shoots of green

All around the world are human beings

they’re crying out

Living in a dream

Some of them are nightmares, some of them sweet

Every now and then someone starts to sing

Every now and then but you’re just standing there and

Staring at some message on your omnipresent phone

You’re so goddam materialistic,

man you’ve got to let it go

Now I don’t know what you’ve been told

Every little goldfish is not gold

Every little viper’s not your friend

And a million dollars is not how this story ends

Doesn’t mean a thing

Catch it on the wind, throw it to the sea

There’s a lot of old gods in the deep

Maybe you could see them if you weren’t just standing

Staring at some message on your omnipresent phone

You’re so goddam materialistic,

man you’ve got to let it go

There’s going to be a thunder in the hills

There’s going to be a red moon in the sky

People never do what they’ve been told

You’re going to have to hold your loved ones to you through

the night

Underneath the sky

Turning out the lights

Everybody comes in by the fire

Dance the night away

She looks into your eyes and

are you standing there just

Staring at some message on you’re omnipresent phone

You’re so goddam materialistic,

man you’ve got to let it go
