cat s eye / yellow fever

Van Der Graaf Generator

I was walking in the evening, i was
Looking for something good, clean, fine,
Pure, straight, but instead i found
The bunker wall and gate.

It was open: i was free. i gave a
Token guarantee; though i later knew i
Had promised more, with an i.o.u.
I could scarcely score my way... oh! but i herald apocalypse anyway!
I was a prime believer in the faith
Of 'i': yellow fever in the cat's eye.

And it's everything you
Want, own,love, hate, touch, dream,
Trust; and it's everything you need.

I got a heart like a rochet, i
Was out of control, i'd cleaned out
My pockets for some luck to show...
Really looking like a hopeless case,
I found it in my hand, it was
The angry ace. he wants to talk to
Me, one on one, he wants to give
Me his professional opinion...but
I'm running; i just can't wait,
I haven't got a moment to anticipate;
Yes, i'm running, i just can't stop,
I've got to get to the bottom just to
Get to the top, i've got the dark
Alleys and the open skies, i got
The yellow fever from the cat's eye.

I'll let you know how it goes in the ninth life.
