Lyrics

Mousey Toy

How did I end up here
Curled up on this couch?
Where did you learn such a bold wink
Whisking me off to your bedroom?

Mousey toy
This continent is lit by the holocaust
Beneath my ribs
Mousey toy
Mousey toy
Mousey toy

How did two tiny ribbons untie
And unfold into a lime tree?
Then to darken a room for other men
A dove hit mid-flight turns away

Mousey toy
This continent is lit by the holocaust
Between my lips
Mousey toy
Mousey toy
Mousey toy
