lyrics

Small Idea

I told you once, that's a small idea.
And that last move was the bad move of the year.
You better turn around and hop back on your horse.
Before the sun's down, I'll be taking you by force!

Gonna bring you to your knees from the highest tops of the trees.
You're gonna feel me soon by the quiet light of the moon.

I told you once, that's a small idea.
Now that I got you, I got to make this clear.
I got you so mad, you wanna take a stand.
But what you don't have is a solid lay of the land.

Gonna crawl around your house, be as quiet as a mouse.
You're gonna feel me soon by the quiet light of the moon.

I told you once, that's a small idea.
And that last move was the bad move of the year.
And as it turns out, everything you said
Is just a burned out light bulb above your head.

Gonna bring you to your knees from the highest tops of the trees.
You're gonna feel me soon by the quiet light of the moon.

Gonna crawl around your house, be as quiet as a mouse.
You're gonna feel me soon by the quiet light of the moon.
