THE NINTH LIFE
(Music by Rob Wood / Lyrics by Steve McAndrew)


Verse 1
seven plus two now there lies a tale, without fail
you got your tongue, your furry feline tongue
hissing at me, greeting me, spitting at me
your tail wrapped around, nothing can get you down

Bridge
The night is young for fun
do you stay or do you run
too much lovely darkness all around uh huh


Verse 2
whiskers test the width=, can you get through
your shining eyes in the dark seeing all, take in all
your lofty position, standing so tall, your pedestal
survey the situation, control the situation
only one boss, must be no competition


Pre Chorus 1
you lived too dangerous and the eigth life was gone
only one to go, got to greet the dawn
caught in the headlights, too stiff to move
gotta move fast or THE NINTH LIFE's gone


Chorus 1
can't risk THE NINTH LIFE, much to Prescious, it's much too dangerous
(much too dangerous)
mustn't jeapordise THE NINTH LIFE, the stakes are much too high
(much too high)
seven plus two, safety cushion gone and with it immortality
(immortality)
THE NINTH LIFE
(ninth life)
not THE NINTH LIFE
(ninth life)
that's mine


Verse 3
you unsheath and sharpen claws
before commencing the prowl
sinewy stealth cloaked in darkness
shared domain of the owl
see if you can find me, make me your plaything
pride Pre-dates a fall
arch your back, elasticity, sweet ecstasy
let me hear your call

Pre Chorus 2
you lived too dangerous and the eigth life was gone
only one to go, got to greet the dawn
caught in the headlights, too stiff to move
gotta move fast or THE NINTH LIFE's gone

Chorus 2
can't risk THE NINTH LIFE, much to Prescious, it's much too dangerous
(much too dangerous)
mustn't jeapordise that ninth life, the stakes are much too high
(much too high)
seven plus two, with the safety cushion gone and with it immortality
(immortality)
THE NINTH LIFE
(ninth life)
ooh, not THE NINTH LIFE
(not THE NINTH LIFE)
don't take that ninth life
(ninth life)
my sacred ninth life
(sacred ninth life)
ooh, that's mine

Middle 8
before daylight comes you return to your den
to sleep through the sunshine, stay clear of the rain
'til the sound of the church bell again chimes ten
when you exit the warmth
