The Black Cat That Crossed My Path

You are nothing but a cliché, You used the L word every day. Then you went and danced the slow dance, With that sad girl filled with romance. Oh You are my unlucky charm. You are my misery and harm. I saw a black cat cross my path, So I destroyed your photograph, Hey I hope you had lots of fun, I went and bought myself a gun. I went to the river today, That was where you happened to say, That I was your beautiful star. And you played our song on guitar. We made love under the moon, Sadly The morning came too soon. I saw a black cat cross my path, So I destroyed your photograph, Hey I hope you had lots of fun, I went and bought myself a gun. Tonight I will hold my gun high, And fire shots into the sky. I’ll save a bullet for my heart. And fall on the grass like a dart. The people will never erase, The wide smile left on my face. I saw a black cat cross my path, So I destroyed your photograph, Hey I hope you had lots of fun, I went and bought myself a gun.
