Kitchen King

Verse 1

Floorboards creak

Padding paws through the empty hall

Shadow moves

Yellow eyes fixed on nothing at all

He sits

Watching

Waiting for the glass to fall

Sleek satin fur

Midnight thief in a white cravat

Milk breath

Spilled ink on the welcome mat

Sharp claws

Tearing

That is that

Chorus

Devil in a fur tuxedo

He is king of the kitchen tile

Devil in a fur tuxedo

With a cold and crooked smile

He's watching

He's waiting

He's winning

Post-Chorus

Tail flick

Tail flick

Going up

Coming down

Verse 2

Cold nose

Pressed against my sleeping face

Witching hour

Running laps at a frantic pace

Stalking moths

Pouncing

Leaving not a single trace

Vicious little gentleman

Biting ankles just for fun

He rules

He runs

Till the day is done

Low growl

His hunt has begun

Chorus

Devil in a fur tuxedo

He is king of the kitchen tile

Devil in a fur tuxedo

With a cold and crooked smile

He's watching

He's waiting

He's winning

Drop

Fur tuxedo

Fur tuxedo

He's winning

Bridge

Soft purr is a trap

Sharp teeth in my hand

Now he wants a lap

Now he makes a demand

I give in

I give up

I am under his command

Chorus

Devil in a fur tuxedo

He is king of the kitchen tile

Devil in a fur tuxedo

With a cold and crooked smile

He's watching

He's waiting

He's winning

Drop

Fur tuxedo

Fur tuxedo

He's winning

Outro

Tuxedo cat

Curled on the chair

Like he was never there

Just a shadow

In a suit

Sleeping sound
