Jaya The Cat - 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 sh** 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
