From Sleepwalking (1982) by Gerry Rafferty

Cat and Mouse (Rafferty) - 5:02

As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoon
When you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go
With a fool like you, I will say anything you want me to
With a fool like me, I??™m amazed at how you take it all so seriously.

People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they know
But I??™m runnin??™ out of alibis, I got one thing left that I can??™t deny
Yes I??™m doin??™ time, doin??™ time, and it won??™t be long ???til I cross that line
Yes the day will come when it??™s time to go, you better get ready, ???cause now you know.

In a place like this, you abandon all hope, you just exist
You can??™t break the spell, well you know you??™re not in heaven, but you might be in hell.

People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they know
But I??™m runnin??™ out of alibis, I got one thing left that I can??™t deny
Yes I??™m doin??™ time, doin??™ time, and it won??™t be long ???til I cross that line
Yes the day will come when it??™s time to go, you better get ready, ???cause now you know.

As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoon
When you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go.

(fade)
Yes I??™m runnin??™, runnin??™, runnin??™, runnin??™
Yes I??™m runnin??™, runnin??™, runnin??™, runnin??™
