I am the Mouse

Written around August 1996

My younger brother Stephen (now almost 18) was 9 years old and prepubescent falsetto never sounded so good. A vaguely disguised tale of childhood loneliness from a vaguely disguised, lonely child.

I am the mouse
From the house on Main Street
Well, actually, it’s 14 Chapel Street
And I don’t know any other mice that live there

Do, do, doo…

But I like it because I have
Pretty cool stuff here
And I am a really neat mouse
Do-doot, do-doot, doo

On Memory Lane I lost my brain
But they gave me a mechanical one
And—I can’t read this—now—
Now I’m done because I’m a computerized bum

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Doot-dee, Doot-dee, do…

But I like it because I have
Pretty cool stuff here
And I am a really neat mouse

On Memory Lane I lost my brain
But they gave me a mechanical one

Now—But I like it because I have
Pretty cool stuff here
And I am a neat mouse

Doot-dee, doo, doot…

And I am the mouse
I am the mouse from the house
(I break a lot of windows that way)

Good-bye everyone.
