Jaya The Cat Microphone Burglar Lyrics

Microphone Burglar Lyrics

Late night in the tenderloin



Didn't get home until 3 in the morning



Kind of mellow and my mind's just wandering



Outside the rain is falling



But I feel alright



I think I'll make it through another night



My body's been stolen but my mind is my own



You got to work so hard to keep it all in control



And don't talk to the judge you won't get no pity



Sometimes you gotta take what you need in the city



And I don't want to disturb you



I'm the microphone burglar







Work all damn day and I'm taxed



Gotta get mine back cause my brain's been hijacked



Same four walls but you can't leave



The streets got no pity when you dream



Another scream outside of my window



But I ain't worried cause the front door's locked



I may not be the fastest runner but believe me



When the shit starts flying I'm the first one leaving



It's so easy to get caught with your hand in the jar



They leave bottles out but they're watching the bar



And if you push back they'll push harder



Gotta keep your head above emotional slaughter



And I don't want to make you alarmed



But I'm lyrically armed







5:30 and the sky is clearing



I close my blinds and I finish my beer



and it's one more night behind me



one more day is dawning in the city



and I feel alright



looks like I made it through another night



my love is yours but my pain is my own



take what I need and I'm gone
