"The Cat Was A Junkie"
(Joe Melson / Roy Orbison)

Ya never know who your friends are
Til you get through to the person within
And if you investigate too far
You might be surprised at the bag that they're in

Alvin never told me he got high
Then I heard that he got wasted
Scorin' from a guy who issued mainline
As a sideline

I didn't know that the cat was a junkie
He never led me to believe he was anything else but the son of a banker

You've got to be highly suspicious
You must be aware of the pupils and size
And food becomes highly delicious
Just count all those Sara Lee cakes that he buys

Everything is melody and vibes
Rufus, Thomas, on the welfare
Everyone has gone and left him helpless
In a corner

I didn't know that the cat was a junkie
He never led me to believe he was anything else but the son of a banker

I didn't know that the cat was a junkie
He never led me to believe he was anything else but the son of a banker

Ohhh
