Lyrics

Mouse Trap

[Verse 1]

Given what you know

The American dream is a Michigan hoax

You can see it from your window

Rust on the frame from the salt on the road

[Verse 2]

Tell me what you know

Time's movin' fast but my brain's movin' slow

Tell me something that I don't know

You glide on the ice but you ain't got a goal

[Chorus]

A dog and a house

Is this what it's all about?

Now you're stuck in a glue trap

That you can't get out

And you'll die as a mouse

To the one who's scratching the couch

Would you even let me go?

[Bridge]

It kills me the most

The rain, the winter, the snow

It's almost not worth living

But I just don't know

I'll come back as a ghost

Just to haunt every house that you go[?]

[Refrain]

Would you even let me know?

Would you even let me know?

Would you even let me know?

Would you even let me know?

[Outro]

Given what you know

The American dream is a Michigan hoax

Tell me something that I don't know

Your cause for alarm is as pure as the snow
