The Second Mouse

by Dean Lombard

/

about

The second single from the forthcoming album Songs From the End of the World.

Aphorisms cannot be relied upon to give good advice. On average, everything is average.

Melodicas, however, pair well with glockenspiels during instrumental breaks.

What doesn't kill you makes you despondent; and it's better to have loved and lost than to be run over by a steamroller.

Usually.

Nevertheless, it's good to be alive.

Because even when everything seems lost, a twelve-string guitar and a sweet vocal harmony bring satisfaction to the soul and a smile to the the tiredest eyes.

lyrics

The early bird might pick up the worm
But the second mouse gets the cheese
I only ever looked at my future
When I was down on my knees
And I’m down on my knees

You may not judge a book by its cover
But where there’s smoke there’s fire
I never even look at the tea leaves
Til it‘s down to the wire
And it’s down to the wire
And the flames getting higher

All I ask, all I want, all I ever really wanted
I never knew

Sleeping dogs, let them lie
But a stitch in time saves nine
I don’t know what to do
I never do
I still don’t know
I think too slow
I’m still here though

All I ask, all I want, all I ever really wanted
I never knew, I still don’t know
I’m still here though oooh

I wish I knew, I can hear you, I’m pushing through

The early bird… the second mouse…
