Mischief Lyrics

There was no one there he had the place all to himself

It was too much no one told him it would be like this

Talking to the mirror wasn't like he thought

There were things he had to do he couldn't remember what

He was going to move when the coast was clear

He didn't think it'd be that long

There was time enough to do all the things that he wanted to get done

At least that's what he thought till the stranger pulled out a gun

it was just another thing that he was wrong about

There was blood everywhere it didn't leave much doubt

He was in real trouble now

He knew that he'd have to run

People came from all around they wanted to see what the matter was

All they got were souvenirs he didn't really leave all that much

Everything he had done was always by himself

He wasn't the kind who liked it but he didn't have much choice

She wasn't there when he got back

He knew he'd have to find someone else

He'd been lots of places and the memories still haunted him

All in all there wasn't much he could do to change what he had been

And everybody he had known they thought he'd done alright

With all the places that he'd been and all the winning fights

Little did they know an oasis

Was all he wanted that night

Well now he's an old man he doesn't get to do it very much

Everything he wanted is gone or else has given up

And all the people he once knew they too bought the line

Everyone he ever loved they'd given up without a fight

All he could do

Was try to start again that night

There were no trophies left no pictures hanging on the wall

The thunder was pounding and the lightning lit the shadows in the hall

The time was closing in and he didn't have to speak

He closed his eyes softly and walked into the mist

There was nothing more

And he knew that peace comes with this
