Crazy Cat
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took a train to meet his gang downtown, yeah
They played Black Jack
Fritz played his false game too far, ooh
A guy got up and started a gunfight
He's looking for trouble day by day
(For trouble, day by day)
(You cute runaway)
He kept being taken by surprise
My stray cat in town
Addicted to chicks
He's got a rental tree near the nudist beach, yeah
Oh watch out!
Booze and ladies are his fate, ooh
Too much sex and food and Rock 'n' Roll
He's looking for trouble day by day
Helloween's song Crazy Cat tells the story of a carefree and reckless protagonist who is always looking for trouble. The song begins with the description of the titular character, a "little crazy cat" taking a train to meet his friends downtown to play the game of Black Jack. One of his friends, a man named Fritz, cheats in this game and takes it too far, which results in a gunfight breaking out.
The lyrics suggest that the cat is prone to getting into trouble and is always looking for the next exciting experience. He is often taken by surprise, indicating that he is not very careful or strategic in his actions. The cat is also addicted to women and alcohol, and spends his time near a nudist beach where he has rented a tree.
Throughout the song, the lyrics convey a sense of excitement and danger, as the cat's actions seem to be getting progressively more reckless. Despite this, the song doesn't explicitly pass judgment on the cat's lifestyle—rather, it simply tells the story without moralizing. Overall, the song paints a picture of a wild and carefree lifestyle that may be appealing to some but ultimately seems unsustainable and dangerous.
