lyrics

Lucky Star

There's a snake in a box
In the 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 aAren'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
