Cat Rider Lyrics
Two months ago now
Since she came around your house
Her answer machine is full
He thinks listening could give her doubts
But when this girl's made up her mind
She's made up her mind, made up her mind
Looking out to the horizon
No turning back, no wasting time
Smooth Cat Rider
Stop bragging 'cause she broke your facade
Don't we all wanna be stars and all
Stop playing with the one that you love
Smooth Cat Rider
Stop bragging 'cause it's gone to your head
So smooth, wish you were smart instead
Stop playing with the one that you love
A fountain in the hall
Big old portraits of himself on the wall
A diamond sculpture face
This peacock is flying all over the place
The tigers, extra cars
No she's not impressed
Your laughs and stupid jokes
The only thing she missed
Now you can't stop looking back
Leaving messages
Smooth Cat Rider
Stop bragging 'cause she broke your facade
Don't we all wanna be stars and all
Stop playing with the one that you love
Smooth Cat Rider
Stop bragging 'cause it's gone to your head
So smooth, wish you were smart instead
Stop playing with the one that you love
Empty bottles, where to go next?
Knowing what you truly missed
It's too late, can't rewind it
Cant get out your kingsize bed
Now you're left with names to forget
Trying to heal from the pain
If you only could rewind it
Would not have acted the same
Smooth Cat Rider
She broke your facade
Smooth Cat Rider
Since she came around your house
Her answer machine is full
He thinks listening could give her doubts
But when this girl's made up her mind
She's made up her mind, made up her mind
Looking out to the horizon
No turning back, no wasting time
Stop bragging 'cause she broke your facade
Don't we all wanna be stars and all
Stop playing with the one that you love
Smooth Cat Rider
Stop bragging 'cause it's gone to your head
So smooth, wish you were smart instead
Stop playing with the one that you love
Big old portraits of himself on the wall
A diamond sculpture face
This peacock is flying all over the place
The tigers, extra cars
No she's not impressed
Your laughs and stupid jokes
The only thing she missed
Now you can't stop looking back
Leaving messages
Stop bragging 'cause she broke your facade
Don't we all wanna be stars and all
Stop playing with the one that you love
Smooth Cat Rider
Stop bragging 'cause it's gone to your head
So smooth, wish you were smart instead
Stop playing with the one that you love
Knowing what you truly missed
It's too late, can't rewind it
Cant get out your kingsize bed
Now you're left with names to forget
Trying to heal from the pain
If you only could rewind it
Would not have acted the same
She broke your facade

This song is so beautiful!!! With a melancholic subtext!
After reading the lyrics a couple of times I think it's safe to assume that this song is about a break up or a guy trying to get a girl back after they have broken up, but things don't turn out in his favor.
In FIRST/ verse, the girl starts off by stating the duration of the break up "Two months ago now" Since she came around this house". The guy has been desperately trying to get her back; calling and calling, but nobody answers.The girls seems to have made up her mind and doesn't want anything to do with the guy again "She's made up her mind, made up her mind" - IT'S OVER!
SECOND VERSE. In his desperation to get her back, he starts using material and glamorous things to get her attention, but he fails because the girl was not interested in those things; all she adored about him was his personality/mannerisms... "Your laughs and stupid jokes"
THIRD VERSE. I think here the breakup has finally broken him down and he has resorted to substance abuse "Empty bottles, where to go next,Knowing what you truly missed"; trying to drown his sorrows, reminiscing about the good old times, yearning to relive.
Also, this is just my interpretation of the lyrics.
