lyrics

've got no reason to yell
im like a mouse in a cupboard
i'm concerned, but baby
i'm not mad

i've been avoiding my brother
like he'd never been born
and i'm so sad
that i'll never meet him

all of the apple pies
i never learned how to bake
are rotting now
in a dusty landfill
in a part of the country
that i'll never see

~

walking up 9th street alone
eating my own breath
i shield my face
and try to hide
but the car dealerships
remind me where i am

out on the neighbor's back porch,
i see the light
little ants walk away with their food
and no one will ever be hungry again

~

above the trembling skyline
i feel no heat
and that's how i know that
i've been here too long.

the winter sky is bright
and feels alright
and everyone knows that
i've been here too long.

A Rhythm In The Cages (2009)
by The Taxpayers

supported by 4 fans who also own “Mouse In A Cupboard”

One of the more sprawling and eclectic albums in the Taxpayers catalogue, A Rhythm In The Cages isn't as airtight as some of its siblings, but it is absolutely bursting with incredible songs. Punk, blues, folk, noise, and unclassifiable weirdness abound. "Militaristic Kitchen," "Dig Too Deep," "Cuyahoga Canal," and "Stealing Apples From The Man" are all eccentric, hooky classics that will live in your head for days. There's really something for everyone here. K.R.K.
