| 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 souldn't take long | |
| Oh, where did he go wrong | |
| He's tried so hard it must be in 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, around | |
| 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, around | |
| Chorus (x2) | |
| Ever nearing eyes | |
| Watch him as he tries | |
| To correct that one same mistake | |
| It souldn't take long | |
| Oh, where did he go wrong | |
| He's tried so hard it must be in 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, around | |
| Chorus |
