Rejoice! Cried the Mice

I buried my best friend in the backyard
It was hard, it was hard
I found the biggest rock that I could carry
I threw it down in the dirt
It hurt, it hurt

I remember back when you were homeless
Well you weren’t really homeless
But you had ran away

Your parents didn’t care where you were going
Someone let you in, we let you stay

You were a curse to every mouse in the house
But you were a blessing to us
You were not afraid to do the things that we would not do
You had no problem drawing blood

And the ghost of every mouse you killed
I’m sure they haunted you
But you didn’t care because there was not a thing you couldn’t sleep through
You were young, you were wild and you were sweet

You saw me through some really bad times
You saw me happy, you saw me fun
I think you had more friends than I did
Because you were so easy to love

I had to leave you at home when i went out on the road
But I drew your picture on almost every wall of everywhere I’d ever go

Now I don’t know what to do
I don’t know if I can get along without you
Sometimes I can’t believe it’s true
And I know that you’re gonna come home soon

It wouldn’t be the first time that you ran away
But then I remember digging your grave
And I feel like I should have dug two
I should have dug one for me right there beside you
