lyrics

Every summer evening as the Sun goes down
and the fireflies are floating
cats commence to notice things we can't perceive
on their unknown errends in the night.

Padding silently into the hedge pursuing
things we're better off not knowing
all along the secret underbrush pathways
on their unknown errends in the night.Cats will often bring you what they've caught or killed
little common birds or rodents
but the strangest things they capture we'll never see
on their unknown errends in the night.

What're ye doin'? (don't ask a cat)
where're ye goin'?
what're ye chasin'?
where're ye goin'?

It's no good to ask a cat what they do in the night
but if you're so inclined, go right ahead and try
and every time that I have quizzed a cat I get no reply.

Yes the most outlandish things they capture
we'll never see
on their unknown errends in the night

What're ye doin'? (don't ask a cat)
where're ye goin'?
It's no good to ask a cat.
