Lyrics The Cat Empire

The Cat Empire

The Sun

Oh this man he wakes up in the morning

Don't know where

His eyes do squint

The sun does glare

Stands up yawns

Does stretch his limbs

Turns his face to the sun

And begins to sing

Seen many places

Done many things

I've been drinking from the earth

I've see the world from within

Had my share of women

And I've had my share of fights

I've been searching for the moon

I've seen some long long nights

Shook too many hands

And I made too many bets

My friends are all gypsies

And I laughed before I wept

I learnt how to live when I saw that sunrise

And now I sing this song about looking on my life

Some say you should try to be rich man

Some they say you should be number one

But my wealth will be inside

And will grow under the sun

After hearing this song

I feel some warmth on my face

I look into the sky

And start to feel a sense of place

This mans song means something to me

My eyes they do open

And I sing this melody

Might write some mystery

Might read some text

Might create a family

This world I might affect

Might be a wise man

Might be a fool

Be conquering like a tiger

Or suffer like a mule

Might learn too late

But might drift in sleep

Might learn how to hide my thoughts

And promises to keep

All these things my life might see

And now I be singing about how my life might be and

Some say you should try to be rich man

Some they say you should be number one

But my wealth will be inside

And will grow under the sun

After hearing this song I feel some warmth on my face

I look into the sky and start to feel a sense of place

This mans song means something to me

My eyes do open and I sing this melody

Might write some mystery

Might read some text

Might create a family

This world I might affect

Might be a wise man

Might be a fool

Be conquering like a tiger

Or suffer like a mule

Might learn too late

But might drift in sleep

Might learn how to hide my thoughts

And promises to keep

All these things my life might see

And now I be singing about how my life might be and

Some say you should try to be rich man

Some they say you should be number one

But my wealth will be inside

And will grow under the sun
