He's a mouse in a maze with its (so many ways)
(But there's only one way to get out)
He's a mouse in a maze with its (so many ways)
(But there's only one way to get out)
Ever-nearing eyes watch him as he tries
To correct that one same mistake
It shouldn't take long, oh, where did he go wrong?
He's tried so hard, it must be his fate
For everybody else it's quick, they need no help
Why must it take him so long?
He's been this way before, stares at the final door
The one he's missed each time he's been around, 'round
With plenty of advice from all the other mice
Sets out and hopes he's got it straight
His audience will grow as long as he is slow
They love to watch another man's mistakes
As more of them arrive his path is more disguised
Confusion seems to cloud his every thought
But it's been this way before, stares at the final door
The one he's missed each time he's been around, 'round
He's a mouse in a maze with its (so many ways)
(But there's only one way to get out)
He's a mouse in a maze with its (so many ways)
(But there's only one way to get out)
He's a (mouse in a maze with its so many ways)
(But there's only one way to get out)
He's a (mouse in a maze with its so many ways)
(But there's only one way to get out)
Ever-nearing eyes watch him as he tries
To correct that one same mistake
It shouldn't take long, oh, where did he go wrong?
He's tried so hard it must be his fate
For everybody else it's quick, they need no help
Why must it take him so long?
But he's been this way before, stares at the final door
The one he's missed each time he's been around, 'round
He's a mouse in a maze with its (so many ways)
