Lyrics

Floodgate

Living in a one-room house, here we go
What's going on here, the cat says to the mouse
Living in a crowded shoe, there used to be one of us
Now there's only two

We better make some room
Or it will be over soon
We can't deviate
Or that awful weight will open the floodgate
Well there's no use you and me waiting around
The people next door are making awful sounds

Perched upon the line next to the crow
Watching all the people as they go
The wind is whipping, pushing at the gate
We've got to hold it, time is getting late
Or that awful weight will open up the floodgate

Chewing on a piece of bread
Why don't you give that here and find some cheese instead
Clinging to a drop of rain
It's all that's left here from the flood but they begin to look the same

We better make some room
For that hopeful tune
We can't deviate
Or that awful weight will open the floodgate
Well there's no use you and me waiting around
The people next door are making awful sounds
There's no use both of us waiting around
'Cause the roof caved in when our luck ran down

Perched upon the line next to the crow
Watching all the people as they go
The wind is whipping, pushing at the gate
We've got to hold it, time is getting late
Or that awful weight will open up the floodgate

Perched upon the line next to the crow
Watching all the people as they go
The wind is whipping, pushing at the gate
We've got to hold it, time is getting late
Or that awful weight will open up the floodgate

That awful weight will open up the floodgate
