1. Screaming in silence fast on her feet
Nervously feeling fear on the street
No moving traffic.

Only the odd
Wing in the air
A shape of light
A strand of hair
No time! No time to despair.

[Chorus:]
There´s a cat among the pigeons
There´s a pain in her chest
While the cat´s among the pigeons
There´ll be no rest.

2. Gasping for breath
In the cold of the night
Patiently waiting
For love at first sight
Yes is the answer
But as the wind takes her hair
A piston thrust a moment shared
No time! No time to despair.

* And the world keeps on turning
And the boy keeps on learning
Who will be the one
To put the cat amongst the pigeons now.
