There is Blood on the tracks
It is dripping in between the Sleepers
There is a Killer on the loose
Playing jeeper Creepers
But the Killer isn’t Human
It is of the Feline variety
It lives in the shadows
In the middle of the scrub
If you are close by
When it is ready to feed
You better hope that you guardian Angel
Is with you in your hour of need
Twenty years ago a Circus was touring country
New South Wales
It had sideshow alley Clowns the Big Top and
of course Big Cats
Tigers and Lions but it also had a Black Panther
It was a Black as the night
With a powerful killer bite
The Circus hit the town of Cowra
On the last leg of the tour
All of the locals came to see the show
The Clowns and the Big Cats all entertained the crowd
And then the Ringmaster closed the show
And all of the Cats were locked in their cages for the night
But the Black Panthers keeper didn’t notice that the latch
wasn’t secured properly
And he went back to his Tent
The Panther gave his cage door a little push
And then he disappeared into the Bush
The next morning the Keeper saw that the Panther was
gone
And he muttered a silent curse
Then he comes to the decision not to say a word
He doesn’t tell his Boss that a Panther is on the loose
The Circus is packed up and they all go home
A pair of large Green Eyes watch as the Circus Trucks
disappear from view
This Cat is going to kill
It might be a Rabbit or a Wombat
But it could be you
The Panther wandered the Bush looking for something to eat
Marsupials Birds Wombats all Animals were on the menu
The Panther ate whatever it could catch
Which was everything because no Australian animal could
out run a Panther
Then the Panther feels a stirring in his loins
and he goes on the search for a mate
Then he came across a local feral Cat
After a lot of sniffing snarling and tail wagging
The Panther planted his seed
And then went looking for some more feed
Over the next twenty years each litter of Kittens grew
larger and larger and meaner and meaner
But they only killed Animals
But their targeted prey was now bigger Bush Pigs Emus
Plus introduced species like Camels and Buffalo
The Panthers appetite was insatiable
There was never enough to eat
It might have to look for a different type of meat
Now we come to the latest litter
And one particular Kitten was huge
Three times as big as its Siblings
It suckled from its Mothers teats until it was weaned
And then it started to eat meat
Its first taste of meat was one of its Sisters
Then he ate the whole litter
This Panther has been hit by a Mutant Gene
It is already as big as a Lion and twice as mean
This is a Cannibal Panther and over the next few Months
It kills every Cat in the vicinity
It hunts and hunts until there are no Felines left
It has killed and eaten all of its ancestors
Now it has to find another source of Meat
Something that is abundant and easy to catch
It is now hunting Humans
A Railroad maintenance crew is hard at work in the
midday Sun
About thirty miles west of Cowra
It is hot work so they have lots of water breaks
But after taking in so many fluids nature starts a calling
So young Eddie Raynor a 18 year old only a few weeks
on the job
Decides that now is the right time to take a leak
And he wanders off down the track
But poor Eddie Raynor doesn’t come back
The last sound that Eddie heard was a low guttural growl
Then he was slammed into the ground
And four huge teeth separated his Throat from his Body
Eddie didn’t know what hit him
He didn’t notice his Blood soaking into the dirt
Cause poor Eddie was dead
And then the Panther fed
There is Blood on the tracks
It is dripping in between the sleepers
There is a killer on the loose
playing jeeper creepers
While Eddie was meeting his maker
The other five Railroad workers were sitting in
the work van
Just starting to eat their Lunch
The Leading Hand was starting to think about Eddie
and that he was taking a long time to pee
Then the van started to shake
And then it came apart at the seams
The five people are now exposed and vunderable
to a Feline attack
Then the Leading Hand saw this big black shape
It looks like a Panther addicted to Steroids
Then he was ripped apart limb from limb
Blood Skin Muscle guts and Shit littered the ground
The air was filled by the stench of death and the sound
of growling and Blood curdling screams
For Cowra this is the start of a very bad dream
The Panther lifts its Nose to the air
And he smells the Breeze
Then blending with the shadows it trots off in the
direction of town
Cowra is quite and peaceful
A sleepy little place
Nothing ever happens in Cowra
Nothing worth a mention
But soon Cowra is about to get the Worlds attention
Nobody has yet discovered the bodies out by the tracks
So the township of Cowra has no idea that a menace
is heading their way
As the Sun set people went about their business
Preparing Dinner giving their kids a Bath
Washing dishes and tucking their kids in for the night
Another day has come and gone
Not a bad day as far as days go
But for one unlucky local today will be a very bad day
For a Panther has picked up her scent
Sheila Rogers a middle aged Mum of two
Is sitting on her back Veranda
Enjoying a cup of Tea
She is sitting there enjoying the breeze
When she notices a movement near the Lemon Tree
Thinking it is just the neighbours Cat she calls out ‘Here
Puss here Kitty’
Then a huge black shape is rushing towards her
It is a giant Black Panther
As big as a Truck
Sheilas last words were ;What in the fuck?’
There is Blood on the tracks
It is dripping in between the sleepers
There is a Killer on the loose
Playing jeeper creepers
After devouring its latest meal the Panther goes
under the House and settles in for the night
It feels right at home beneath the Bricks and Mortar
Maybe it has found its place on this Earth
For the first time in its life the Panther feels safe
and secure
And just like a Vampire it sleeps all day
And does its killing at night
And this is a Cat with one hell of a bite
The bodies out by the tracks are discovered the next
morning
After the workers failed to come home
The local Police are bambozzled
This is more then they can handle
It looks like the workers were ripped apart by a pack of wild Animals
But the local Cops have their doubts
and they call Sydney for assistance
After examining the scene and analizing some scat samples
The Sydney expert tells the local Cops that the Killer was a Cat
And a Panther in particular
But Panthers aren’t a native of Australia
There must be some sort of mistake
But the Forensics don’t lie
And meanwhile the locals continue to die
For the next six Months two people went missing every week
People were seeing Panthers in their sleep and nightmares
Traps were set and Poison was layed
But the Panther was never caught
Maybe it had moved on?
Maybe it is going to visit your place
This Kitty Cat want give you a lick
It will rip off your fucking face
There is Blood on the tracks
It is dripping in between the sleepers
There is a Killer on the loose
Playing jeeper creepers
MEOWW.
