Lyrics

Lucky Stars

There's a box
With a snake
In a basement
Of a house

In the box
With the snake
The man put
The mouse

Then the man
Stood and watched
He felt a bit
Like god

And the mouse
Well all he knew
Was he was feeling
Rather odd

Then the man
Shakes the box
Thinking
"This could take all day"

"Hurry up
Got things to do
Money's time
As they say -
That's what they say"

The mouse looked up
And saw the man
Staring down
At him

He asked himself
What it meant
Hoping things
Aren't what they seem

The snake uncoils
And moves slow
Across the
Sawdust chips

The man looks down
His eyes are wide
there's a tremor
On his lips

The mouse can't move
'Cause he is trapped
Like a bug
Inside a jar

But he still hopes
Hopes he was born
Under a lucky star
A lucky star

In a flash
It is done
And the man
Walks up the steps

He goes outside
Under the sun
He puts some water
On the grass

the snake still lays
In the box
In the basement
Of the house

In his throat
Is a lump
That used to be
A mouse

The man now knows
He's seen the proof
You can't change the
Way things are

But he's no mouse
He is a man
For that he thanks
His lucky stars
