Lucky Cat
Liner Notes
I am not a skilled enough composer to create the outro that I want. I think I need something instrumental there at the end.
I also wrote this two whole steps higher, but my voice is going and too weak today for me to sound good in that range.

Lyrics
You knew how not to act too clever She stopped you in your tracks With one well-placed “Whatever”
And the vents are painted over But the windows come unstuck There’s this thing you want to say? You better cough it up
Go ahead and play your cards wrong We’re none of us around that long The lucky cat up on the counter waves and waves
Go ahead and lay down your hand Somebody’s going to understand They haven’t seen the likes of you in all their days
He heard the joke you told and smiled You watched yourself unfold Discovered you were wild
Oh, we’ve tramped and we have trampled Yeah, we’ve tripped and we have tried And the fear has whispered to us It would be better if we lied
Go ahead and play your cards wrong We’re none of us around that long The lucky cat up on the counter waves and waves
Go ahead and place all your bets I know it hasn’t worked out yet But i can see it coming for you You gotta stay
It’s fine and it’s fine And it will be well You know what they say, Only time will tell But there is no time So don’t make this hell Honey, hold on Honey, hold on
Hold on Hold on Honey, hold on Honey, hold on
Go ahead and play your cards wrong We’re none of us around that long The lucky cat up on the counter waves and waves
Go ahead and play your cards wrong We’re none of us around that long The lucky cat up on the counter waves and waves

I can see the cat waving in my head now. And that chorus melody is wonderful - it hits particularly well at the end after the 'hold ons'
This is some fine #americanasati
Hey, thanks! 🙂
There's something special about the "Go ahead and...." refrains. Both going a bit higher, but also a bit faster really elevates it.
