There's no where to go
But I'm leaving at last
I'm sorry for the haste
But I have to run fast

Theres a little black cat
That chases me at night
It has a little blue spot
Right under its heart


You might have seen it around
As a snake or a mongoose
It creeps up behind you
And nooses you loose(ly

If you run too fast
It tightens around you
You must keep a steady pace
As it walks right behind you

It takes a little time
Till you figure the way out
You'll think too fast
To make things right

You must first stand still
Be cool, relax
Walk back a step
To the stone you just past

Now therell be no tension
And the rope will slack
Close your eyes turn around
And give the cat a whack

Don't open your eyes yet
Theres still a lot to dread
It's just hurt you can bet
So make sure its dead

When you open your eyes
Your shadow will quiver
But will walk by your side
And slowly turn silver

You're free to run now
In any direction
And wherever you may go
you may now use pretension (you'll now have protection)

though theres no where to go
I'm leaving at last
I'm sorry for the haste
But I must get there fast
