Zorro Cat and the Wild Boys

“Vixen” [5 minutes, 4 seconds]

In scarlet eyeliner
You think you’re a vixen
Will you get what you want?
They say you always do

You’re such a challenge, but I think I’ve got a plan
It’s time to prove that I’m not just a common man
The rhythms take control as bodies take the floor
Like that, the game’s begun, I can’t hold back anymore

Here we go…

You stare into my eyes
Show me a coy smile
As things start to progress
You still play hard to get
You know you’re a vixen
Will I get what I want?
Looks like we’re getting close

CHORUS:
Beats will pound, turn around
Hidden gestures will confound
Move your feet, feel the heat
Shake your hips and then repeat
Take a chance, as we dance
Your body has me in a trance
Feel your skin, chic vixen
Come as we give in to sin

Animal tendencies
Might get the best of me
Might get the best of you
As passion will ensue

BRIDGE

Conversation, fascination
Motivation, reputation
Situation, concentration
Transformation, great temptation
Indication, provocation
Perspiration, domination
Destination, vindication
Stimulation, exclamation
Invitation
Celebration

CHORUS

“Requiem For a Tryst” [5 minutes, 26 seconds]

Any Thursday night in Williamsburg
Concentration can be disturbed
By the memory of when we met
Pure perfection that I can’t forget
Any Friday night in South Park Slope
Haunting visions give me some hope
Is that you standing just outside?
Think a part of my heart just died

CHORUS:
Can I see you just one more time?
Heaven knows it would be divine
I don’t want to leave this behind
I just can’t get you off my mind
Will you feel me just one more time?
Send those chills straight down my spine
Hold me close and look in my eyes
Feel the passion between our thighs

Saturday night in the L.E.S.
Single life is like a game of chess
Strategies will get you oh so far
Before things go wrong at every bar
Can’t move on until I let go
Should have reached this point long ago
Logic tells me I can’t live like this
Doesn’t stop me wanting one last kiss

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Every Sunday, the morning’s cold
Lie in bed with torment untold
Monday morning can’t come fast enough
Maybe then I’ll be over this stuff

CHORUS

“Hannah Fantastique” [3 minutes, 52 seconds]

INTRO:
One night in Stockholm, I
Found myself missin’ home, so
I drowned myself in, some
Tonic, lime, and gin, then
She entered the bar, and
Walked up from afar, and
Asked me if I might stay
There the entire night

Ah-la-la-la-la-la, Ai-yai-yai-ya
Ah-la-la-la-la-la, Ai-yai-yai-ya

Those golden locks, and legs for miles
Oh, such a fox, with perfect smiles
My heart will skip, when she walks by
Must get a grip, and catch her eye

CHORUS:
Ha-Ha-Ha-Hannah Fantastique
You are the one I seek
Impossibly chic
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Hannah Fantastique
You’re makin’ my knees weak
Incredible physique
Oh whoa whoa whoa

Ah-la-la-la-la-la, Ai-yai-yai-ya
Ah-la-la-la-la-la, Ai-yai-yai-ya

She dominates, every thought
Opens the gates, to be distraught
If things don’t go, a certain way
I have to know, if she will stay

CHORUS

BRIDGE: reprises INTRO

You have a hold, upon my mind
I should be bold, and unconfined
By mental hooks, that keep me down
Ahhh, but your looks, keep me around

CHORUS

Ah-la-la-la-la-la, Ai-yai-yai-ya
(over CHORUS, repeat to fade)

“Dark, Little Secrets” [3 minutes, 24 seconds]

You don’t smile when you mention him
Your eyes roll then they just go dim
Still with him but maybe not for long
Want that door shut; you’re not that strong

PRE-CHORUS:
So now you question what
You once thought that you had
The feelings in your gut
Covered by purple plaid
You glance over to me
And your heart skips a beat
And I can’t guarantee
You won’t end up a cheat

We meet again for happy hour
Words left unspoken as things go sour
But you can feel when we connect
You can’t conceal that it’s correct

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS:
Your dark, little secrets
Can’t be kept safe for long
You’ve felt it all along
You know it’s very wrong
Your dark, little secrets
And you just cannot hide
All those nights that you’ve cried
About each time you lied

BRIDGE

We might not last and you know it
It’s fading fast but you can’t quit
The day is done, you sit alone
Despair’s begun, you’re on your own

CHORUS

“Cold Snap” [3 minutes, 22 seconds]

The bitter winds that howl
They seem to match your scowl
Ice covers up the street
But this feels incomplete
Don’t get the things you say
Discussion out of phase
What happened to our love?
Cleared by snow from above?

CHORUS:
Oh girl, please stay with me
We’ll make it through the winter
The snow upon the trees
Should not mean the end of our fling
So, please girl, just stay with me
We’ll make it through the winter
Just listen to my plea
And we will make it through to spring
Oh girl, please stay with me
We’ll make it through the winter
Please girl, just stay with me
We’ll make it through the winter

You say we’ve lost the fire
Can’t reattain desire
The nights are far too cold
This issue should unfold
You think that this can’t work
I sigh, and with a smirk
Tell you you can’t give in
As the winds burn my skin

CHORUS

BRIDGE

CHORUS

“Flatiron” [4 minutes, 18 seconds]

Our eyes will lock
Across the floor
Ignore the clock
Ignore the door
This passion burns
The music grooves
My stomach turns
Our bodies move
Your foreign lips
Can’t bear to speak
Your foreign hips
I see you’re sleek
I can’t decide
You bite my neck
Bodies collide
My mind’s a wreck

You take me back
Into your place
On your attack
As we embrace
Enter your bed
The day appears
We go ahead
Fear disappears
This passion burns
The sweat will drip
Your body yearns
You bite your lip
Day turns to night
And as we part
Flames still ignite
You stole my heart

“Don’t Make Me Wait” [2 minutes, 20 seconds]

So,
Make up your God damned mind
Your words are too unkind
You’re far too disinclined
And I can’t stand to be declined

Well,
We seem like quite a pair
The sun shines through your hair
You just don’t seem to care
And I can’t leave this in the air

CHORUS ONE:
Don’t make me wait for you
I don’t know what to do
This love’s long overdue
But not meant to be true

So,
Your look is no surprise
Your Bette Davis eyes
But they cannot disguise
The actions that I now despise

CHORUS TWO:
Don’t make me wait for you
Don’t think you ever knew
How high I thought of you
You haven’t got a clue

BRIDGE

Well,
Looks like we’ve hit the end
No longer can pretend
And I just don’t intend
To keep you as my special friend

CHORUS TWO

CHORUS ONE

CHORUS TWO

“Insomnia” [3 minutes, 12 seconds]

I’ve never seen the way your eyes shine in the sun
So tell me girl, do they make all the boys come run?
I’ve never felt this way about someone before
Your lips take hold of me and grip me to the core

But then I realize that it’s not what it seems
I know I often take these worries to extremes
In time I’ll figure out it might be in my head
For now, I can’t do anything but toss in bed

CHORUS:
This insomnia is never ending
So go on and please just stop pretending
That this love affair is too demanding
Your gestures keep me from understanding
Now let’s go, so where will you be standing?
In my arms or with another landing?

When you are here, things seem to fall right into place
When we’re apart, I have to struggle to erase
The feelings in my heart that I just can’t escape
Please help me dear, to get my mind back into shape

CHORUS

BRIDGE

The armored infantry is ready on the hill
Your looks deceive me as they move in for the kill
The gunners fire, but do you pray they’ll hit the mark?
Just visions haunting me as I lie in the dark

CHORUS

“Modern Robotics” [3 minutes, 14 seconds]

Your metal heart
A perfect start
For the most part
You think you’re smart

May I see you?
Is it taboo?
Please help me through
Foray into…

CHORUS:
Modern robotics
Keep me in confusion
Bitter narcotics
Fancy this illusion
Modern robotics
Keep you in seclusion
We’re symbiotics
Maybe it’s delusion

The machine knows
How to expose
A fuchsia rose
With perfect prose

Her wired brain
Can not contain
I can’t complain
Can not explain…

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Feelings in chrome
Please take me home
Love mixed with steel
Is it a deal?

But will we last?
Some love fades fast
The die is cast
And are we past…

CHORUS (twice)

“Belle of the Ball” [3 minutes, 41 seconds]

I ask you please excuse
This smile I can’t remove
And I cannot refuse
The chance I have to prove
My life is on the turn
She’s got me in a trance
My heart begins to yearn
And now I’ve got my chance

And we dance…

CHORUS:
She’s the belle of the ball as we walk into the hall
She can turn every head with her smile and what she said
And we look perfectly matched in colors you can see
Brightest blues, stunning whites, catches everybody’s sights
She’s the belle of the ball and I’m totally enthralled
Soft green eyes, auburn hair, always gets me with her stare
Shines in her dress of lace, impeccable style and grace
Like a gift from above, I could not be more in love

When the night’s almost done
Party starts to wind down
I feel second to none
We’re the talk of the town
Never imagined that
I would be in this place
Concerned it would fall flat
But that’s just not this case

And we dance…

CHORUS

BRIDGE

CHORUS

“The Bridge” [3 minutes, 17 seconds]

It happens every time that I meet you at the bridge
My heart rate starts to climb but you start to make me sick
Oh dearest Chelsea, do you know what’s on my mind?
Don’t think you have a clue but I’m screaming out the signs

The water rushes by and I have to tell you now
You’re trying to imply that I should just disavow
The venom that I fired when I last met with you here
But it’s becoming tired and I need to be real clear

CHORUS:
There is unrest in our hearts
As we start to drift apart
Oh my precious Chelsea, you
Always thought you’d make it through
Who is blue and who is red?
Where will you be next instead?
Doesn’t matter much to me
Now that I’m finally free

Your friends think they’re so posh as they play with their blonde hair
The fictitious panache that just hides their lack of flair
Pretension bothers me and you know that I can’t stand
Every time that you plea that I do not understand

Must try to get this done as I break the news to you
Meet you in Kensington or in the gardens of Kew
You’d rather waste the day roaming the shops of Soho
We’re in such disarray that I’ve got to let it go

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Oh Chelsea, you can see we just want such different things
And you cannot agree that we shouldn’t act like kings
It isn’t good enough to delude ourselves this way
Our past is far too rough for me to attempt to stay

CHORUS
