Minesweeping In The Dark

[Verse 1]
Decision time on the factory line
The chickens have all gone insane
They've ripped off their beaks and pulled off their wings
Someone in here is to blame

Maybe they just didn't want to fight anymore
So they pulled the plug and called it a draw
Or maybe all they wanted was to cause a stir
Either way they've made people think

[Chorus]
So come on over and get into my head
And we'll while away the hours in the dark
So come on over and get into my head
And we'll minesweep together in the dark

[Verse 2]
"All this was fields when I was a boy."
Said the old owl to the young mouse
"Now they've put up fences and torn down trees
That's why we no longer have a house."

The the owl said "Son, I'm gonna eat you now
Cause that's just the way life goes
This saddened the mouse who started to cry
And used his friend's wing to blow his nose

"Look I've got nothing against you, you're a nice enough chap
But I've got to eat to stay alive."
The young mouse nodded his head and offered up his neck
And off the owl flew into the night

[Chorus]
So come on over and get into my head
And we'll while away the hours in the dark
So come on over and get into my head
And we'll minesweep together in the dark
