Midnight Poony
Midnight Poony
Poony in the shadows
Luno in the dark
Eyes like two blue halos
Ready to spark
Silent on the counter
Black silk on the floor
One blink
Then he's missing
Already at the door
Little velvet monster
Hunting in my room
Heart like tiny thunder
Soft storm in the gloom
Poony in the night
Night
Night
Little black flame in the moonlight
Deadly when he moves
Then he curls up tight
Killer paws turn to cuddles till the sunrise
Poony in the night
Night
Night
Hear that motor when he purrs just right
Night predator with a sugar side
Yeah
My shadow with the golden eyes (oh yeah)
Claws on the sofa
Then he's on my chest
Breath warm
Tail twitching
Tiny king at rest
One paw on my heartbeat
Like he owns the tune
Sharp teeth
Soft forehead
Falling asleep too soon
Poony in the night
Night
Night
Little black flame in the moonlight
Deadly when he moves
Then he curls up tight
Killer paws turn to cuddles till the sunrise
Poony in the night
Night
Night
Hear that motor when he purrs just right
Night predator with a sugar side
Yeah
My shadow with the golden eyes (hey!)
Hunter in the hallway
Angel on the bed
Wild in the pupils
Gentle on my head
How can something ruthless
Be this sweet to me?
Tiny midnight panther
Purring like a dream
Poony in the night
Night
Night
Little black flame in the moonlight
Deadly when he moves
Then he curls up tight
Killer paws turn to cuddles till the sunrise
Poony in the night
Night
Night
Hear that motor when he purrs just right
Night predator with a sugar side
Yeah
My shadow with the golden eyes
A tribute to Luno — a real black cat whose alter ego is "Poony". The song is packed with double meanings: on the surface it's about a cat hunting at night, but every line also reads as a seductive love song. "Black silk on the floor", "Then he's on my chest", "One paw on my heartbeat", "Falling asleep too soon" — all literally about a cat, all unmistakably something more.
