Lyrics

Character Development

[Intro]

I Could, I Could, I Could...

[Verse 1]

Straight trough the park, pass the rock-violent dolls

What a tragedy accommodated hitting me

All tough surrendered it lifts me over the hill does it get me

I got a better view of what I'm running from... or to

[Verse 2]

If I was a rabbit, I'd be pulled from a hat

The place I inhabit is the head of a head

It's a force of habit to reside so tall and so small

Just like Jiminy Cricket, I mean the rat takes the call

[Instrumental Outro]
