AT NIGHT ALL CATS ARE GRAY Copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer, All Rights Reserved, ASCAP intro:You can go out your way and I'll go out in mine Lila always used to say "no one is made for these times" She came to me three weeks ago, late one stormy night a soaking stranger at the door saying "for god's sake bring a light" she said "by the time I was born Charlie Chaplin was already dead Sometimes I don't feel alone in my car, but I know that that's all in my head" She'd been in Minneapolis since sometime in July since then she'd been on the road but she'd never learned to drive CHORUS: c'mon and cast that spell the one I like so well come on, oh baby run away oh . at night all cats are gray (x2 or 3) She told me once off highway nine, she'd been walking down a path first she thought she heard a scream then she swore she heard a laugh She ran until she found a restaurant, it was closed so she broke in She said "I live by just one rule "it's never just the wind" she said before she left that I could follow if I liked and I told myself I'd never let this girl out of my sight chorus and so that night out on Annie's Road inside a foggy haze in winter nights are only made to swallow up the days and we drove from midpoint past the sunrise out into the fair sunset and Lila dug in pockets for a couple more of those cigarettes and looked into my eyes as though she'd known it all along I just stared out the window as the radio played the same damn song chorus what came after Detroit is really a bit of a blur heaven knows if there really is a Lila in this world I just remember her eyes when she said to me "don't worry, man, this won't hurt" chorus   1/2000 Copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer, all rights reserved, ASCAP. back to home page
