Lyrics

Strange tales
Scribbled on a uniform
Strange tails
Scribbled down in cuneiform

It had been written
You had been bitten
You're now a cat
Where you used to be a kitten, now

Strange tales, strange tails

Strange tales
Scribbled on the shelter walls
Strange tails
Scribbled as the idol falls

Strange tales, strange tails
