Lyrics The Cat and Mouse - Cursive

The Cat and Mouse

A little mouse creeps as the mighty tomcat sleeps
He’s been up for forty nights, he needs his forty winks
To think of all the mischief his teeth did sink
I can nearly taste it
Some scars heal and practically fade away
While some reveal a past you can’t escape
And others still are entirely fake
So what’s it going to be, my long lost brother?
Show your scars
Are you going to be my long lost brother
After all?
I don’t really need a long lost brother
Tearing me apart
Let’s start knocking them nine lives off
I know what you are, I know what you’re doing
I know what this is, it’s a bloodletting
When the cat’s away, it’s said the mouse will play
Oh, but this little mouse was brainwashed to behave
Now the cat’s out of the bag and someone’s got to pay
Here kitty kitty
All my life I’ve been made to do what’s right
Well, all my life is going to end tonight
And you my pet are my first sacrifice
So what’s it going to be, my long lost brother?
Pass or fail
Are you going to be my long lost brother?
Heads or tails
I never really had a brother
But it doesn’t hurt to be double sure
I know what you are, I know what you’re doing
I know what this is, it’s a bloodletting
I know what you are, I know what you’re after
You’re a dead ringer, you’re a doppelgänger
Kill the demon, kill your doppelgänger
Kill the demon, kill your doppelgänger
Kill the demon, kill your doppelgänger
Kill the demon, kill your doppelgänger
