[Intro]
Soft paws on moonlit railings, a heist in whisker-light
The alley applauds in squeaks and neon sighs
[Verse 1]
I nurse my prize on the tip of a shadowed tongue
A silver fish, a fickle moon’s last sung
I tip my hat—well, what passes for a grin
To the stunned crowd gawking, wide with chagrin
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the clumsy cheers, the gasp and the wow,
They’d swear it’s magic, I’d swear it’s how
A cat with swagger can steal the scene
And leave a puddle of awe where I’ve been
[Chorus]
I’m a whisker away from gone, just a whisker at dawn
Laughing at gravity, I’m wearing the yawn of the paw
Let them blink, let them stare, I’m the rumor in the air
I’ve got a prize, I’ve got a plan, I’m floating on a dare
[Verse 2]
The streetlight chorus hums a crooked tune
I sip the amber of a midnight boon
They whisper I’m rogue, a legend in fur
But the prize is sweeter than any purr
[Pre-Chorus]
Crowd’s breath catches on the seam of night
I slip through their fingers with feline delight
A parliament of cats could not reclaim
What I nabbed with a flick of my claim
[Chorus]
I’m a whisker away from gone, just a whisker at dawn
Laughing at gravity, I’m wearing the yawn of the paw
Let them blink, let them stare, I’m the rumor in the air
I’ve got a prize, I’ve got a plan, I’m floating on a dare
[Bridge]
Watchers mutter, “Maybe mercy,” and I reply with a grin
Mercy’s for fences, I prefer doors left ajar for kin
A chase, a chase—oh what a splendid spree
The world’s a stage, and I’m the thief with esprit
[Chorus]
I’m a whisker away from gone, just a whisker at dawn
Laughing at gravity, I’m wearing the yawn of the paw
Let them blink, let them stare, I’m the rumor in the air
I’ve got a prize, I’ve got a plan, I’m floating on a dare
[Outro]
Fade like a rumor in puddles and rain, I glide away unseen
The prize clutched close, a glint of mischief in between
If awe is a leash, I’ve broken every cord
I’m back to shadow, forever adored
