LYRICS:

Ripping the ribbon from my clumsy paw
Hey, long arms of the law, don't leave me reaching
And don't forget the double knot
As we're accident prone
I would hate to be alone with my ineptitude and debt
Another gift that wasn't mine to give
In a bind, I take my time
I know someday we'll have to live
Like mice

The setting sun hones in on you
And you were melted, I felt, unfairly
But it's just not done the way we do
They're living proof…but barely
We're more like mice
Like mice

When the curse comes for all intents
And purposes my pain is not the greater
Their pockets are empty
That much I understand
So what's another couple grand
If we get to treat them
Like mice

I've already found a new place to stay
All my terror's in the tangible, a blackness etched in gray
Another gift that wasn't mine to give
If the mice get in, we'll have to find some other way to live
The mice
