Superficial Cat Lyrics

At the blast that was the past
Came the superhuman brain
Set the universe aflame
Put the rest of us to shame

I looked to the skies with expectant eyes
Feeling bedazzled, humbled and small
The Answer was clearly writ large on the wall
I ain't got time for all that
I'm a superficial cat
I'm in a dwam that's where I'm at
'Cause I'm a superficial cat

At the dawning of all time
In the black hole of his mind
All his secrets will be sold
As the infinite unfolds

I don't have time for all that
I'm a superficial cat

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
