    Story Behind the Song
    The song was inspired by a vision I had when finding a dying cat in the middle of the road one night, hearing its life departing, and somehow feeling akin to it.

    Lyrics
    Black Cat Blues (Gioconda)

    I found a rope
    What shall I catch?
    Along the white line, in the middle of the road
    A lasso to hunt up a match

    I stumbled on a dying cat
    Stretched out glistening, oily black
    Torn down my side, I bend down
    Hear the hum of life, soft departing cracks . . .

    Chorus
    Fall into you, fly into me
    How can we be where we are?
    Fly with you, feel with me
    How come we are what we see?

    Yearning, and pulling me over
    Like a hair on a limb
    I get a stiff reaction, dark night blood
    Now that your chord's gone within

    While the night chomps its bit
    A silent nocturnal menopause
    The doors are reluctant to give way
    Conjuring ghosts from space-oozing walls

    I found a rope
    What was my fate?
    Prowling new instinct, hatching new hopes
    While unseen depth charges wake

    I found a dying cat
    Caught me by surprise
    Hard times were coming, learning and burning
    Haunting through bright diamond eyes
