Cat's Claw Lyrics - April Wine

She huh, living in a cat's claw mind 

Hoping you like what you find 

But you'd better take it real slow 

So many things you don't know 

Sweeter than the sweet that comes to the brain 

Just upon the threshold of pain 

That's the hold you have over me 

Woman won't you please set me free 

You took me places higher than I ever wanted to go 

You took me places higher than any man should ever hope to go 

Strange love, torn between the heart and the soul 

Laughing while the body grows cold 

Somewhere that I should never be 

Woman won't you please let me be 

Free me, from the darkness here underground 

Screaming but I can't hear a sound 

Drowning in the pleasures of pain 

I can't see the sky, for the rain 

You took me places higher than I ever wanted to go 

You took me places higher than any man should ever hope to go, oh no 

Reaching for the sun to come and take me home 

Sitting in a chair and sinking like a stone 

Sweeter than the sweet that comes to the brain 

Just upon the threshold of pain 

That's the hold you have over me 

Woman won't you please set me free 

You took me places higher than I ever wanted to go 

You took me places higher than any man should ever hope to go, oh no
