Disclaimer: The song in this chapter is worth commenting on.
The lads woke up in the villains' lair under the subway.
Catwoman purred at them when she saw their faces.
"Catwoman! You again!" said George.
"Hello, my fine quartet of Englishmen" said Catwoman.
"What do you want with us now, Catwoman?" said John.
"Your riches; and I want them fast" said Catwoman.
"Our riches?" said George.
"Yes. You say you never did the math for how much money you earn at concerts? Well, you probably have millions by now" said Catwoman.
"Wait a minute. You asked us if we were gonna become millionaires. You were disguised as na audience member" said Paul.
"You sure are clever, Paulie. And yet, you weren't clever enough to ever tell Meg Murry-Stuart the truth" said Catwoman.
"What are you talking about?" said Ringo.
"Paul lied to Meg last spring. When he drugged poor Murray Cook and didn't tell her after her mama died" said Catwoman.
"How on earth do you know everything about us?" said George.
"And that's over and done, lady" said Paul.
"Over and done? The love you've felt for that girl lasts like a star does in the sky" said Catwoman.
"I'm sorry, Catwoman. I don't follow you at all" said Paul.
Catwoman turned to the Penguin. "Put these three in the cellar. I want to have a conversation with this one. Cad to Cat" she said.
The Penguin put John, George and Ringo in the basement of the lair while Catwoman faced Paul.
"It's simply like this. Stars in the sky last until they die. And your love for that chick will last until you're dead" said Catwoman.
"I love her, yes, but not in the way I used to" said Paul.
"Oh, you've no idea. It's always been the way it used to" Catwoman hissed.
She sang to make her point.
Stars and love burn bright
Till they're ready to die
You might as well spend your nights
Staring at the sky
"I still don't know what you're saying" said Paul.
Catwoman kept singing.
You, oh, you had a tendency to
Turn into a fool
That girl knew that you were
Trying to get her enveloped in your family jewels
You chose to grow your nose
Cause deep down you knew she knew
Paul: You knew?
Catwoman: I knew!
That you let her run quicker than you could come
'Cause you weren't being good to her
And to be specific, it's bad news when Paul McCartney cries
You spilled the beans in Miami
And perfectly after her mommy died. tsk, tsk, tsk
You knew she wouldn't be angry when she was down
Well done, Pinocchio! You told a lie!
Paul: I wanna take advantage of why I just heard
I'm not vulnerable anymore
You tell me I'll be lonely
If Meg won't hold me
Catwoman: Stars shine only
Paul: Well, this is just light
Old light
It's been dead for a long time
Long time
Catwoman: Long time?
Time?
Stars and love burn bright
Till they're ready to die
You might as well spend your nights
Staring at the sky
Paul: Now you've done it
Now stop your trickery and stop it fast
Catwoman: You've a massive heart
But you're messed up, kid, you can't help the past
You'll never see why Meg has thrown you out of her soul
Paul: It's easy to know why you're on your own
I'm her friend and I'm not alone
She's found someone to call her own
Catwoman: Love is like starlight
Even when a star dies
Paul: I know love when it shines
This is only old light
Old light
It's been dead for a long time
Long time
Catwoman: Long time?
Time?
Stars and love burn bright
Till they're ready to die
You might as well spend your nights
Staring at the sky
Paul: Well, if love determines your lifeline
I haven't reached the end of mine
Catwoman: What you did before is over
But it was still a lie
Paul: Well, it is just old light
It's fled from my sight
And now we're alright, I don't wanna fight
Till I die
Catwoman: "you can't help that".
Love bites in the sky
Love is like starlight
Love is starlight
