Cat’s Life

I could never understand how a woman or a man
Could live their whole lives never travel more than forty miles
Seemed like a cat's life, never going far
Seemed like denial of everything you are

Could never understand, struck me as mad
That you could gather it all in the one place that you had
Seemed like a cat's life, if you're hungry, you cry
What's forty miles under one piece of sky

Walk out into the fields, it's all in my hair
I look up and I see you there
It's just like a cat's life, no crawling down a wall
It's forty miles whether it's big or small

Would never understand, it struck me as mad
Live their whole lives, but now I can
It's just like a cat's life, if you're hungry, you cry
Only forty miles... piece of sky
Just like a cat's life
