I set the trap for the clever ratnHad him hooked when he smelled the foodnSurprised myself with the catchnLacing the bait with solid truthnSeems to work like a weak willed foolnIt's something you can't refusenn[Chorus]nSuspended in the air held up high by the tailnEasy to escape the cage but not the scentnLeft on your trailnnShowing teeth from cheek to cheeknGuarding your wants ignoring needsnThief or riches heartless and coldnWaiting till 12 to crawl out of your holenIf only you knew I was standing with a netnAgainst the wallnn[Chorus-add on]nWon't vanish in a couple of daysnIt'll probably take monthsnWhich is somethingnYou don't have many of
