GENESIS

GENESIS - All in a Mouse's Night lyrics

rate me

Loving couple:

I can't see you but I know you're there.

Got to get beside you cos it's really cold out here.

Come up close to me you'll soon be warm.

Hold me tightly like we're sheltering from a storm.

Mouse:

Think I might go out for a stroll

Into the nightand out of this hole.

Maybe find me a meal.

Walking along this new shag pile

Presents a problem all the while.

Nearly the door.

Suddenly he bumps into woodthe door is closed.

A voice from the bedhe'll be exposed.

Which way to runmust make for the hole

The light's been turned onhe's blind as a mole in coal.

Now I can see they're coming at me

They've blocked off my doorI haven't a chance in hell.

Couple:

Come on baby let the poor thing go.

I'm not sleeping with that thing around hereno.

Alright thenI'll fetch a box from below

Guard him carefullythey're very quick you know.

Mouse:

The door's been openedmy chance to escape.

Must run out quickbetter sorry than late.

I'm out on the stairs.

They won't catch me nowI've the run of the house now.

I'll make it downstairs and into the breadbin.

That would be nice.

Suddenly he bumps into furthat's very unwise

A cat is much quicker than men and their eyes.

The chase that ensues can have only one end

Unless outside help steps in for our friend in need.

But now the cat comes in for the kill

His paw is raisedsoon blood will spillyes it will.

Cat:

Hard luck mousethis is the end of your road.

The signpost says inside melet me bear your heavy load.

But it's not to bethat final pounce

Knocks a jar upon his headand lays him out.

But it's all in a mouse's night

To take on all those who would fight.

Cat's story:

There I was with my back to the wall

Then comes this monster mousehe's ten feet tall

With teeth and claws to match.

It only took one blow.
