I set the trap for the clever rat   Had him hooked when he smelled the food   Surprised myself with the catch   Lacing the bait with solid truth   Seems to work like a weak willed fool   It's something you can't refuse      [Chorus]   Suspended in the air held up high by the tail   Easy to escape the cage but not the scent   Left on your trail      Showing teeth from cheek to cheek   Guarding your wants ignoring needs   Thief or riches heartless and cold   Waiting till 12 to crawl out of your hole   If only you knew I was standing with a net   Against the wall      [Chorus-add on]   Won't vanish in a couple of days   It'll probably take months   Which is something   You don't have many of
