Mongoose
I'm a train leavin' the station
You're tied down to the track
You ain't got no time for laces
Or to get up off your back
I'm slow to get movin'
But once I hit full speed
I won't be thinkin' about losing
There won't be any need
I'm a mongoose in a snake pit
And I like what I see
And you don't have a fuckin' clue
What you're gonna do with me
I know I'll be leavin'
I'll be leavin' all alone
I'll be sittin' on top now
I'll be sittin' on your throne
That's not the way, no
That's not the way, no
That's not the way, no
That's not the way
I'm a landslide on the mountain
You're a village valley low
I'm a million tons of rock and mud
Bearing down my name is woe
Chimney smoke in blue moonlight
Windows all aglow
The rattle racket in the night
As I rumble down below
I'm a monster to your Loch Ness
I haunt your underneath
People come to see you
But they're only there for me
I'll sell you down the river
As I slowly slide away
And you'll end up a puddle of muck
That no one ever sees
That's not the way, no
That's not the way, no
That's not the way, no
That's not the way
You're tied down to the track
You ain't got no time for laces
Or to get up off your back
I'm slow to get movin'
But once I hit full speed
I won't be thinkin' about losing
There won't be any need
I'm a mongoose in a snake pit
And I like what I see
And you don't have a fuckin' clue
What you're gonna do with me
I know I'll be leavin'
I'll be leavin' all alone
I'll be sittin' on top now
I'll be sittin' on your throne
That's not the way, no
That's not the way, no
That's not the way, no
That's not the way
I'm a landslide on the mountain
You're a village valley low
I'm a million tons of rock and mud
Bearing down my name is woe
Chimney smoke in blue moonlight
Windows all aglow
The rattle racket in the night
As I rumble down below
I'm a monster to your Loch Ness
I haunt your underneath
People come to see you
But they're only there for me
I'll sell you down the river
As I slowly slide away
And you'll end up a puddle of muck
That no one ever sees
That's not the way, no
That's not the way, no
That's not the way, no
That's not the way
