The Cat Empire Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Song For The Day

Lyricist:Richard Ritchie Blackmore, Ronald Ronnie James Dio

These nights awake
Can you imagine how much time
We've spent around here?

Enough to say that we have seen
Two moons come past
Pass and turn away

Don't close your eyes
For we have come to love
That mad white glare

Don't close your eyes for we
Would see the room depart
And sing the song for day

Singing the song
Singing the song just for the day
Singing the song
While the moons they fade away

The song that brings the night to sleep
And creeps into our eyes
For delusion makes them manic
For delusion makes us manic
For illusion makes us sing

The song just for the day


2.No Mountain

Lyricist:Felix Riebl

No mountain can see
But sometimes a mountain
Can sing or hum
At least I heard one
Humming on the evening we

And no horizon can sleep
But sometimes horizons
Can close their eyes
And drift into one moment
Somewhere halfway between
The distance and a dream

And all my senses' honesty
And all my senses' honesty
They belong to you

Alone I stand, alone I fall
There is no option anymore, alone with you
And though my point of view seems sad
I believe it's not so bad, alone with you

And all my senses' honesty
And all my senses' honesty
They belong to you

Alone I stand, alone I fall
There is no option anymore, alone with you
And though my point of view seems sad
I believe it's not so bad, alone with you


3.Won't Be Afraid

Lyricist:Henry James Angus, Will James Hull-brown, Oliver James Mc
Gill, Ryan Monro, Felix Riebl

Well, I've been at the top of a cliff
And seen ships go sailing away
And I've watched the sea turn green
And bright blue fish swim in the shade

I've imagined skies in reverse
And heard stormy mountains collide
And I was there by the shore on the night
When the stars all married the tide

When the time arrives
When we must form a line
Would you stand and take my side?
Would you take my side?

No, I won't be afraid
You know I won't be afraid
When the evening takes
All of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far
As it will ever be away

And now we've journeyed through the world
As if our dreams were an ocean to wade
Underwater kites they glide
Like a friendship set on a wave

When the time arrives
When we must form a line
Would you stand and take my side?
Would you take my side?

No, I won't be afraid
You know I won't be afraid
When the evening takes
All of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far
As it will ever be away

And maybe I'm afraid of fools
The children that are saved
And maybe I'm not certain
When they draw the final curtain

The woman in the water
And the baby in the bath
And the morning is as far
As it could ever be away

No, I won't be afraid
You know I won't be afraid
When the evening takes
All of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far
As it will ever be away


4.Radio Song

Lyricist:Felix Riebl

Don't want to hear you say
It's not when something's wrong, baby
Don't want to hear you say
It's nothing when it's not

'Cause I don't want to love you
Like that radio song, honey
Don't want to love you
Like that radio song

Before we go
I'd like to play with you again
Before we go
I'd like to play that show we've been

'Cause I, I want to love you
Like a festival song, honey
I want to love you
Like that festival song

And when I see that morning light
I'm going to hold you in my arms
And let the everything be fine
Or let it finally drift apart

We'd go back to that place
Where we met and made our mark
And when I see that morning light
I'm going to hold you in my arms
Or let you go

Now we return
And for an hour these songs ignite
But one it sings for you
I'd love you for a night more than

The memories of broken images
And fights more than
The memories of broken images
And fights


5.Voodoo Cowboy

Lyricist:Henry James Angus

His mother was a snake
His father was a scarecrow
Born in the desert with his hat on his head
Never missed a shot, sharp as a pharaoh

Tequila in the sunrise, the desert was his bed
Now he could dance the barn dance
Like nobody before him
But no woman would take him

'Cause his eyes were rather strange
In them you could see the emptiness of the desert
Yellow like a scarecrow
Black like a snake

He was a voodoo cowboy
And he had never found a girl to call his own
On and on and on that lonely cowboy
But a cowboy's never really
Cowboy's never really alone, really alone

He had a horse whose name was Plenty
And they saw things no man or beast should ever seen
Out in the redness, out in the empty
Where ghosts and spirits walk around like you and me

He met a girl called Annabelle
And she was just the prettiest thing he'd ever seen
Under a lake at the edge of the world
He met a girl, walking through the edges of his dreams

Because you see, he was a voodoo cowboy
And he was following a psychedelic stream
On and on and on, that lonely cowboy
But a cowboy's never really
Cowboy's never really deceived, really deceived

So they rode down under the water
And the sunset made a fire above his head
In search of warmth, in search of love
In search of Heaven above
But all he felt was cold and all he touched was wet

But he could see her down a little bit deeper
And all he wanted was to hold her to his chest
So he reached out and she reached out
And he touched her and she drew him in
And kissed him as he breathed his final breath

Because you see, he was a voodoo cowboy
And he had finally found a girl to call his own
On and on and on, lucky lucky cowboy
Because cowboy's almost always
Cowboy's almost always die alone, die alone
They die alone, they die alone
