Lyrics: [F.RIEBL/H.ANGUS]
Four steps in the morning
Two steps in the day
Three steps in the evening then
The darkness is ablaze and all the
Angels, Sikhs, and Soldiers
Come step to the parade
Run out like a cheetah
Monkey’s in the blood
What a piece of work is man
Who screams the name of love, but all his
Brothers, Cousins, Sisters, and Others
Hear is fuzz
All night awake
In the moonlight, I’m with you
In the moonlight, I’m with you brighter than gold
Born on the horizon
Beaming through the sky
Some have seen what none can dream
But light calls it a lie and all the
Sinners, saints, and winners
Just wink and walk on by
But Brando’s in the forest
And Nancy’s in the flood
The black swan makes a pirouette
The gods cry from above, and all the
Rain keeps falling
On bare feet in the mud
All night awake
In the moonlight, I’m with you
In the moonlight, I’m with you brighter than gold
Come northern lights of Norway
Come sunrise to the east
Come wicked witches in the west
We’re southbound with the beat and all the
Lions, Brides, and Preachers
Come down into the street
All night awake
In the moonlight, I’m with you
In the moonlight, I’m with you brighter than gold…
About:
Formed in Melbourne, Australia and adored the world over, The Cat Empire is a musical success story that continues to be written. The trajectory the six-piece have sustained for their 20-year career has been lead by a shared passion for bringing joy through their infectious, genre-embracing anthems and making global audiences dance.
The band started from humble beginnings, making music and playing sweaty clubs around Melbourne. Their fans would introduce friends to what they were dancing to, and the ground-swell began. The Cat Empire have gone on to release seven studio albums with global chart success.
The Cat Empire's hard work and connection to their worldwide audience have made them a significant Australian global music export for two decades. They are in high demand from Promoters the world over for headline festival slots year on year from Glastonbury and WOMAD to Bonnaroo and Bluesfest due to the unique brand of feel-good Australian music and their enduring ability to consistently deliver a world-class live show.
July 2021 sees the band return with new music recorded earlier this year at the studio of long time friend and Producer Jan Skubiszewski's Red Moon studio in regional Victoria and recordings by Diego Guerrero at Estudio La Burilla Madrid. The recordings feature the Empire Horns, Yuri Pavlinov on bass and writers, singers and Palmas from Barcelona and Madrid.
