Robert Forster - Cat's Life lyrics

I could never understand how a woman or a man Could live their whole lives never travel more than 40 miles Seemed like a cat's life Never going far Seemed like denial Of everything you are Could never understand Struck me as mad That you could gather it all In the one place that you had Seemed like a cat's life If you're hungry you cry What's 40 miles Under one piece of sky Walk out into the fields It's all in my hair I look up And I see you there It's just like a cat's life No crawling down a wall It's 40 miles Whether it's big or small Would never understand It struck me as mad Like their whole live But now I can It's just like a cat's life If you're hungry you cry Only 40 miles Piece of sky Just like a cat's life
