Don’t Kill the Cat

BlackAngel Evo

Don't Kill the Cat they say
Find a distraction
It'll help keep it away

Have strange addictions
I'm sure you do too
Even though their wrong
Their right
As we try to get through

Don't Kill the Cat
Find a distraction
It's harder than they say
Find a distraction
Find a distraction
It'll help keep it away

Don't Kill the Cat
Don't Kill the Cat
It'll help keep it away
