lyrics

When you're out, out on the town
And the neon lights blur past your eyes
How well do you know the man who sits beside you?
When the hawk snatches up the rat in the wood
Do you empathize, and to which side do you relate?
And with an arm around your waist
And as you're taken to the highest tower
Ain't that when you should realize
Just who you are, or have become?
When the lighted match falls beneath the sidewalk crack
And we marvel at the painted walls and mourn the flame
Oh, and snuffed out by the wind of a passing heel
And to forget our loss we light their cigarette
And toss what is left up and out
Up out and over our shoulders
But with an arm around her neck
And as she's taken to the basement then isn't that when I should realize
To give in is just another way to give up
And I'm so tired of failing out this way
Oh, I know you've heard it all before (sarc.)
I'll sharpen my tongue as somewhere the rat
Oh that rat says goodnight
Say goodnight
Now wake up
What will we do with the dirt once all these holes have been filled?
Shall we sweep them under the rug, my dear?
And where to turn when the molehills are mountains?
Oh, what a day when that rat finds no food has been left in the trap
But they keep coming back
Trying to retrace their steps
Finding less and less marks they can believe in
The hawk on wing, the rat left lost in the wood
Lost in the wood
Lost in the wood
