They Might Be Giants - Mr. Mischief Night lyrics

Creeping in the grass talking to myself
Getting up the nerve

Mr mischief Night mr mischief Night
Mr mischief Night

Hear the ringing phone in my earpiece and
From across the lawn

Mr mischief Night mr mischief Night
Mr mischief Night

This is me unboxing my new x ray vision scope
I’m wearing it to bed
I don’t know why I need it yet
My heart is banging like a gun
And I can’t suppress a smile
I’m smearing up the maps I’m
Gripping in my sweaty mitts

Smearing up the maps that I tightly grip
In my sweaty mitts

Mr mischief Night mr mischief Night
Mr mischief Night

Hear the ringing phone in my earpiece and
From across the lawn

Mr mischief Night mr mischief Night
Mr mischief Night

Wait, what
Oh no! I think the sun is coming up
How long have I been
Shivering beneath your gate?
I’m knee deep in the hoopla now
I’m face down in the ticks
Mummified and paralyzed
By the work I undertake

(Mr mischief Night, Mr mischief Night)
(Mr mischief Night)
