lyrics
Two squeaks in the night
That sounded so barely
And right out of the shadow, I guess
Two smart tiny thieves
Snuck 'round our place
And took every trinket, and yes
Mommy moved in her dreamsleep
Because she felt you sneaking away
You were a-scared to get caught, I guess
So you shrunk down to dots and blinked out
It's quiet in our house today
Not much of a man
I passed out on the couch
And snored until the morning, and yes
I missed your debut
Your spectacular death
They'll nail me to the cross, I guess
It's what I deserve, and yes
I slept through it all
I deserve no better than death
But I ask for more
I ask to play with you
To skip past the crooked tree
To spin in the grass
And mostly to run, and never grow tired
My two little thieves and I
In those glorious fields
Mommy moved in her dreamsleep (I slept through it all)
Because she felt you sneaking away
You were a-scared to get caught, I guess
So you shrunk down to dots and blinked out
It's so quiet in our house today
