The Man Who Stole A Leopard |
| Do you know where we are? |
| I’m longing for the dark of our nocturnal life |
| It begins and ends with you |
| Don’t spill my secret |
| You were once running wild, hiding in the morning mist |
| Game demands I make you mine |
| I thought that I could resist, but the leopard in you silently preyed on me |
| I made my way back home (Did you follow her?) |
| I handled her with care (Were you in control?) |
| So elegant and sleek (Were you not afraid?) |
| I need her to be near (Does she belong to you?) |
| Don’t spill my secret |
| You were once running wild, hiding in the morning mist |
| Game demands I make you mine |
| I thought that I could resist, but the leopard in you silently preyed on me |
| Deserted by my friends (Don't they understand?) |
| She’s so much more than them (How could they compare?) |
| So now she’s just for me (No one else can see) |
| I watch her while she sleeps (Be sure she dreams of you) |
| Don’t spill my secret |
| (It's been quite a while) Since we were last outside |
| (And do you miss the chase?) Now that we’ve both been tamed |
| (Inside this gilded cage) Prisoners of our thoughts |
| (You saved me from myself) Don’t spill my secret… |
| «Today a man was taken from his apartment at the NewJersey Shore, |
| under record under suspicion of entrapment of a wild animal. |
| Griesley Port |
| Entry discovered a caged leopard in the building. |
| The fully-grown feline was |
| said to be surprisingly domesticated, by zoological experts who gave her a |
| thorough examination, before preparing her for relocation. |
| A large crowd had |
| gathered outside to watch the beautiful creature, as s giant cage was lowered |
| slowly onto the street by a crane. |
| From here, the leopard was transfered into |
| the back of a truck for it’s journey ahead. |
| As Slasislanika said, |
| it’s extraordinary to think that any human being could have lived in such |
| close quarters with such a dangerous animal. |
| Police are saying that the captive |
| was simply besotted with the creature, and barely left her side. |
| It’s alleged that he hunted her in the wild and expertly forged documents to |
| facilitate her illegal export to the United States of America. |
| The incident has |
| already created much controversy, and is now likely to lead to a major |
| international investigation into the life of the man who stole a leopard.» |
