Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Velvet paws on the sill
Scratch marks on the gate
Nine lives in the hallway
You never keep them late
They prowl by the milk crate
They land with a grin
Needy as a moonbeam
Begging to come in
[Pre-Chorus]
Climb, climb higher
Tail in the air
One more ledge, baby
They been everywhere
[Chorus]
Clawfoot swing, clawfoot swing
Nine lives ring, nine lives ring
Need me now, need me now
Climbing up, climbing up
Clawfoot swing, clawfoot swing
Purring loud, purring loud
Call my name, call my name
Meow to the crowd (meow to the crowd)
[Verse 2]
They sit on the back fence
Like kings in the rain
One eye on the window
One eye on the lane
If the plate leaves the table
They ghost in a flash
Soft little bandits
With a velvet-claw slash
[Pre-Chorus]
Climb, climb higher
Don't look down
Every roof beam
Is a throne now
[Chorus]
Clawfoot swing, clawfoot swing
Nine lives ring, nine lives ring
Need me now, need me now
Climbing up, climbing up
Clawfoot swing, clawfoot swing
Purring loud, purring loud
Call my name, call my name
Meow to the crowd (meow to the crowd)
[Bridge]
On the fire escape
They bend the night
Little wild figures
With that left-right glide
I open the latch
They own the room
Four soft shadows
In a velvet bloom
[Final Chorus]
Clawfoot swing, clawfoot swing
Nine lives ring, nine lives ring
Need me now, need me now
Climbing up, climbing up
Clawfoot swing, clawfoot swing
Purring loud, purring loud
Call my name, call my name
Meow to the crowd (meow to the crowd)
