Cat and Mouse — текст песни (Gerry Rafferty)

As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoon
When you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go
With a fool like you, I will say anything you want me to
With a fool like me, I`m amazed at how you take it all so seriously.

People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they know
But I`m runnin` out of alibis, I got one thing left that I can`t deny
Yes I`m doin` time, doin` time, and it won`t be long �til I cross that line
Yes the day will come when it`s time to go, you better get ready, �cause now you know.

In a place like this, you abandon all hope, you just exist
You can`t break the spell, well you know you`re not in heaven, but you might be in hell.

People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they know
But I`m runnin` out of alibis, I got one thing left that I can`t deny
Yes I`m doin` time, doin` time, and it won`t be long �til I cross that line
Yes the day will come when it`s time to go, you better get ready, �cause now you know.

As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoon
When you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go.

(fade)
Yes I`m runnin`, runnin`, runnin`, runnin`
Yes I`m runnin`, runnin`, runnin`, runnin`
