Cat Dancers
 

 Lyrics and Lead Vocal: S. Stewart; Music: B. Hill; Backup Vocal: S. Nicks
 

Climbs a wall, cries his call
Because it hurts so bad
Down the street, on her feet, she says
"C'mon, show me what you have"
It is the hour when all broken dreams
Look the the stars above
Always fighting for true love

The cat dancers
They just don't get it
The cat dancers 
Dance forever

One step up, two steps back
Now he's in the danger zone, yeah
Pulls her tight, one more night
'Cause he can't dance alone
She swings around and breaks away
As they delay the bitter end
Each knows that neither one can win

The cat dancers
They're at it again
The cat dancers
Dance forever
The cat dancers
It's you and me
Yeah, I could leave but I could never...
I could never let you go

Climb that wall
Cry that call
Better give it all you can, all you can
Where is love when you need it?
What is left when you bleed it?
Something they don't understand
So no one changes, no one hides the tears
That haunt their eyes
The way love hurts becomes a way of life

For the cat dancers
They just don't get it
The cat dancers
Dance forever
The cat dancers
It's you and me
Yeah, I could leave
But I could never let you go

 

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Sandy Stewart has written or co-written several songs for and with Stevie (the most recent being that terrific song Too Far from Texas from Trouble in Shangri-La), so when it came time for her to do her own solo effort, Stevie was right there with her. Sandy even says that she deliberately copied Stevie's style of singing on the album (and you can tell - she sounds a LOT like Stevie in some places). Although this song is the title track, I don't really like it that much. It's a forgettable song that drags somewhat, and I don't really get the "cat dancer" analogy. Oh, well.
