Cat People Songtext
von David Bowie

See these eyes, so green
I can stare for a thou- years
Colder than the moon
Well, it′s been so long
And I've been putting out fire with gasoline

See these eyes, so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds, it′s been so long

Still this pulsing night, uh
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
But you wouldn't believe what I've been through

You′ve been so long
Well, it′s been so long
I've been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline


See these tears, so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
Tears can never dry
No judgment made can never bend

See these eyes, so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
But you wouldn′t believe what I've been through

Well, it been so long
It′s been so long
And I've been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline


Putting out fire
I been putting out fire
Well, it′s been so long, so long (so long)
Yes, it's been so long (so long, so long)
I've been putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
Been putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
Yeah, yeah, putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
Been putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
Been putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
Putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
It′s been so long (been so long, so long, so long)
It′s a-been so long (been so long, so long, so long)
And I'ma putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
And I′ma putting out fire (been so long)
