There is a white cat
that sits in my car
nobody sees it, just me
and I’m far from based
on this earth as you know
but tonight, someone said
she did see
a lovely white cat in my
car tonight
it had a big head and blue eyes
I thought I was seeing things
but now someone else
has seen it
so there’s a surprise
I never take alcohol
nor any tablets
and its not a reflection
and so
I couldn’t work out
why I thought that I saw it
but now it is clear
it did show
I had a white cat
that lived in my house
about 20 years ago, it
went off to Heaven
it died in my arms
my mother in laws
it would sit
for hours looking at her
adoringly
it only had eyes yea for her
so why would it come back
and sit in my car
up to now well I’ve not heard
it purr
but I went sort of cold
when my friend said to me
she had seen it,it looked at her too
that must mean there is a cat
some sort of spirit
I now don’t know
what I should do
its clear my perceptions
are really honed high
and my friend, well she’s honed up too
we’re both in the sky
so what will we do and where will
we go
I think we should work at it
and let love grow
its clearly a real premonition
if the world’s gonna end
its a sign
when love comes a knocking
although it seems shocking
everything clearly is fine
we both grasp the bull
by the horns so to say
for clearly the two of us are
special, I mean there’s no doubt
about that
we’ve both seen the white cat
in my car!
