Lyrics Cheshire Kitten - KAYE

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oooh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oooh)

What's got you stumped, baby?
Cat got your tongue?
Do I not fit in your mess?
Is it the way I maniacally grin
Ain't nowhere I seem to fit
(My form, my freak, my flag)

I can be pink, purple, red, or yellow
Depending on my mission
Shift shape, survive when the odds get narrow
Just like a cheshire kitten

No I'm not, I'm not what I am
You ain't got my number, babe
(Ain't got my number, babe)
Work so hard at pulling me down
But you might as well be pulling down the wind

He thought he'd seen all my stripes
He never liked me that complicated
I got a once over, wasn't worth it
Obsessed with surface
Missed my wonderland below

They showed distress at my evolution
Away from numb and pretty
I ripped me up, found a new solution
Inside my cheshire kitty

No I'm not, I'm not what I am
You ain't got my number, babe
(Ain't got my number, babe)
Work so hard at pinning me down
But you might as well be pinning down the wind

Laughing, I'm laughing, I'm mad as a hatter
Never mind, never mind all of the chatter
'Cause pretty soon, none of this will even matter
So might as well be who you are

(But I don't want to go among mad people)
(Most everyone's mad here, Ha ha ha)

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oooh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oooh)

Let me tell you bout it
(I'm just a cheshire kitten)
Oh, I do what I please
(I'm under pressure)
I'm grinning like a maniac
(I'm just a cheshire kitten)
Oh baby miles of teeth
(I'm under pressure)
Oh baby miles of teeth
(I'm just a cheshire kitten)
Oh baby, miles

Goodness, if the people here are like that, I
I must try not to upset them
