Lyrics
The Mouse and the Model
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
nothing is certain at this time of day
you could reverberate you could decay
the mouse and the model are laughing at us
we'll risk it we're desperate for someone to trust
let's start a new heart the new charts are in
we'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in
by counting your blessings you wind up in debt
it starts with your family and camps in your bed
you jekyll and hide it when you could have left
your guard down your dress up you must be upset
let's start a new heart the new charts are in
we'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in
it's dark over here on the flipside of reason
the teaser could be something easy like they did it in a book
you're a crook you're a fake you committed
if you did it say you did it if you didn't suck it up and say you did
let's start a new heart the new charts are in
we'll tax them relax them and make them forfeit
the vote by a landslide the jekyll and hyde
mackenzie macabre she's bonnie and clyde
