The Man Who Stole A Leopard Lyrics
Do you know where we are?
I'm longing for the dark
Of our nocturnal life
It begins and ends with you
Don't spill my secret
Chorus:
You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game demands I make you mine
I thought that I could resist
But the leopard in you... silently... preyed on me
I made my way back home (did you follow her)
I handled her with care (were you in control)
So elegant and sleek (were you not afraid)
I need her to be near (does she belong to you?)
Don't spill my secret
Chorus
Deserted by my friends (don't they understand?)
She so much more than them (how could they compare?)
So now she's just for me (no one else can see)
I watch her while she sleeps? (be sure she dreams of you)
Don't spill my secret
It's been quite a while
Since we were last outside (and do you miss the chase)

Now that we've both been tamed (inside this gilded cage)
Prisoners of our thoughts (you saved me from myself)
Don't spill my secret
(Repeat during newscast)...
Newscast:
"Today a man was taken from his apartment on the New Jersey shore and arrested
Under suspicion of entrapment of a wild animal. Police, after forced entry,
Discovered a caged leopard in the building! The fully grown feline was said
To be surprisingly domesticated by zoological experts who gave her a thorough examination before preparing her for relocation.
A large crowd had gathered outside to watch the beautiful creature as a giant
Cage was lowered slowly onto the street by a crane. From here, the leopard
Was transferred into the back of a truck for the journey ahead. A puzzled
Onlooker said it's extraordinary to think that any human being could have lived in such close quarters with such a dangerous animal. Police are saying the captive was simply besotted with the creature and barely left her side. It's alleged that he hunted her in the wild and expertly forged documents to facilitate her illegal export to the United States of America. The incident has already created much controversy and is now likely to lead to a major international investigation into the life of the man who stole a leopard."
