Cat Power - Werewolf Lyrics






Oh the werewolf, the werewolf
Comes stepping along
He don't even break the branches where he's gone
Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were flying
I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying

How nobody knows, nobody knows, body knows
How I loved the man, as I teared off his clothes.
How nobody knows, nobody knows my pain
When I see that it's risen; that full moon again

For the werewolf, the werewolf has seen apathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.
And only he goes to me, man this little flute I play.
All through the night, until the light of day, and we are doomed to play.

For the werewolf, the werewolf, has seen apathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.

    This song is performed by Cat Power and appears on the album You Are Free (2003).
    This song is a cover of "Werewolf" by Michael Hurley.
    Oh the werewolf, the werewolf
    Comes stepping along
    He don't even break the branches where he's gone
    Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were flying
    I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying

    How nobody knows, nobody knows, body knows
    How I loved the man, as I teared off his clothes.
    How nobody knows, nobody knows my pain
    When I see that it's risen; that full moon again

    For the werewolf, the werewolf has seen apathy
    For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.
    And only he goes to me, man this little flute I play.
    All through the night, until the light of day, and we are doomed to play.

    For the werewolf, the werewolf, has seen apathy
    For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.

  49. p.... ....

    I listened to this song several days ago as a background song of a random video. There was no credit to it so i didn't know which song was it to find. Give up at first but then i have to go back trying to listen to the lyrics (which is pretty hard to me) to get the song. This song is haunting!
    Finally made it. So happy.

    Better than the original! ....and that's hard to do.

  70. E.... V....

    After reading your comment, I find it very difficult to believe that you were capable of criticizing someone's spelling ability. I mean, seriously, your sentence structure is like a foriegn language and I don't even know how I would begin to address your punctuation issues. You seem quite charming, by the way. That's all. Have a nice day

  71. M.... ....

    Dude, when the master is talking bitches like you pay attention, second, i was not talking to you, now shut up and put your idea in your fucked wide ass!

  72. E.... V....

    there 's nothing more petty and egotistical than to read someones sincere thought, idea, feeling whatever...and then to point out the spelling errors. I mean, what are you?? some grey-bunned, saggy sweater, orthopedic, spinster school marm?? Get a grip. Get a hobby. Get ANYTHING!! But please! This only makes you sound like a pretentious, elitist roaring bitch. That's all. Have a nice day.

  73. M.... A....

    sad, but i love it

  74. a.... g....

    havent you ever just wanted to run. get down on all fours and never stop. no care, just go were your feet take you. no stopping for anything

  75. M.... ....

    Yeah, too bad you can't spell it correctly...

  76. o.... ....

    I have no idea what this comment is in reference to, but it makes me very sad...

  77. g.... ....

    It's not a tease if ya see tits haha. Powder Blue

  78. N.... T....

    his version is really great, too!

  79. J.... ....

    yeah it's so hot

  80. Z.... ....

    jessica biel did a striptease??? lol

  81. l.... s....

    i am a were wolf

    l.... s....

    Sure you are big guy!

  82. M.... R....

    I love the cello and violin in this song.

  83. W.... ....

    The cat is good friend to werewolf.

  84. B.... S....

    ... and not to be mean or a nazi, but she has the correct lyrics, since it is a cover of Michael Hurley. Not her fault, or technically yours, that Cat Power sang the wrong lyrics.

  85. M.... ....

    oh okay then ... i had the lyric sheet at school and thats what it said and also i would make sense because the original legends or werewolves said they came from a place called the neither world or the Were-world. I'm not trig to start a fight or anything so I'm sorry if i corrected something out of place, sorry :(

  86. D.... G....

    that's not correct.. just listen to the original lyrics.
    and also it wouldn't make any sense.

  87. D.... G....

    I love Cat Power, but no one could ever play this song like Michael Hurley did on Armchair Boogie.

  88. K.... V....

    This song was written by American singer-songwriter Michael Hurley.

  89. B.... O....

    i love this song so good job :) :)

  90. D.... ....

    @lunamooncat3ink No worries, I appreciate it :-) I just copied them from a website and didn't pay much attention to them haha.

  91. M.... ....

    not to be mean but the lyrics are a tad bit wrong.
    its
    the werewolf..... in wereworld
    as the first line.
    sorry not a nazie just being helpful

  92. P.... .....

    geniale!
