Lyrics
[Verse]
Down the back alley where the shadows creep
A stray cat's howlin'
It's a sound so deep
Got the blues in its eyes
Pain in its soul
Playin' that sad tune
The back alley cat blues
[Verse 2]
Dirty streets
Broken dreams
That's the scene
The back alley's where the lost souls convene
Hear the whispers of the lonely in the night
Back alley cat singin'
It's a beautiful sight
[Chorus]
Back alley cat blues
They'll touch your heart
Like the pouring rain
Tearin' you apart
The rhythm's haunting
The melody so true
Feel the magic of the back alley cat blues
[Verse 3]
Under flickering lights where shadows play
Where the world's gone wrong
And hope's just a stray
In every corner, every narrow lane
Back alley cat knows
The struggle's his bane
[Verse 4]
Through the alleys, where the alleys weep
He's seen the hunger, he's felt the keep
But he keeps on singing, his spirit's light
Back alley cat's blues
In the darkness, he fights.
[Bridge]
In the silence of the night
You can hear his plea
Echoing through the bricks
Of this cold city
He's the voice of the lost
The ones left behind
Back alley cat's melody
A story they'll find
[Chorus]
Back alley cat blues
They'll whisper your woes
Like the rumbling thunder
When the storm just grows
The rhythm's raw
The melody so true
Feel the soul of the back alley cat blues
[Outro]
So when you're wanderin' alone
Through the streets of despair
And you hear his lonesome song
In the polluted air
Know you're not alone
In this world's dark hues
Back alley cat's singin'
The back alley cat blues
[Outro]
So when you're wanderin' alone
Through the streets of despair
And you hear his lonesome song
In the polluted air
Know you're not alone
In this world's dark truth
Back alley cat's singin'
The back alley cat blues
