Cathouse Blues
Stevie Nicks' Velvet Tale: Conquering the Cathouse Blues
Lyrics
I got the Cathouse Blues
I am experiencing the Cathouse Blues.
I wear the highest of high heel shoes
I wear extremely high-heeled shoes.
Whoa, darling, it's hard to be surrounded
It's challenging to be in an environment where people are indifferent.
Where the women are lazy,
The women around are unmotivated.
And the men are rude
The men around are impolite.
I got the cat walk, don't talk blues
I have a confident walk but choose not to engage in conversation.
I creep on cat's feet,
I move silently and discreetly like a cat.
I don't speak loose
I keep my speech reserved and controlled.
Yourself in velvet,
Wrap yourself in luxury, forget our encounter.
Forget we ever met
I have a sense of confinement, experiencing the Cathouse Blues.
I got the closed in,
Intensifying the feeling of being enclosed.
The Cathouse Blues
Reiteration of the theme - experiencing the Cathouse Blues.
Blue gray eyes that say
Describing eyes that communicate a sense of being forgotten.
I guess you don't remember
Reflecting on the past when the connection may have faded.
I guess that I was younger
Acknowledging the passage of time.
To say the cat sleeps alone,
Stating that the cat, symbolizing independence, sleeps alone.
Sleeps only in the sun
Emphasizing the cat's preference for sunlight.
But she'll awake tonight
Anticipating a change tonight, the cat will be gone.
And she'll be gone
Reiteration of the theme - singing the Cathouse Blues.
Singing the Cathouse Blues
Expressing a desire for new red velvet shoes.
I need some new red velvet shoes
Reinforcing the dreamy and fanciful nature.
I'm still a dreamer's fancy
Acknowledging perceptions of being classy.
Well they say I'm pretty classy
Affirming a sensual and genuine persona.
I'm just a feeling silky cat come true
Reiteration of being a silky and true embodiment of a feeling.
I'm just a feeling silky cat come true
Repetition of the theme - a silky cat come true.
I'm just a feeling silky cat come true
Continued repetition of the theme.
Oh yeah
An expression of affirmation.
I'm still a dreamer's fancy
Reiteration of being a dreamer with a touch of class.
They say I'm pretty classy
Reaffirming perceptions of being classy.
I'm just a feeling silky cat come true
Reiteration of being a silky and true embodiment of a feeling.
I'm just a feeling silky cat come true
Repetition of the theme - a silky cat come true.
I'm just a feeling silky cat come true
Continued repetition of the theme.
