THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
"Cat And Mouse With The Light"

I don't mean to be the last one standing
Only meant to be the next best thing
You're the last of my first mistakes left
And you can take that as a compliment

They don't sell what we want in the port
Can't get rid of it inside the storm
This is what they call inside trading
All this playing cat and mouse with the light

[Chorus:]
Like I can't stand that you love me, love me, love me
Like I can't stand that you love me, love me, love me

How have we escaped justice so long?
Grab the coats as the guns are drawn
Exit while it's all ricocheting
Continue playing cat and mouse with the night

[Chorus:]
Like I can't stand that you love me, love me, love me
Like I can't stand that you love me, love me, love me
Like I can't stand that you love me, love me, love me
Like I can't stand that you love me, love me, love me

I don't mean to be the last one standing
Only meant to be the next best thing
This is what they call inside trading
All this playing cat and mouse with the light

[Outro:]
We've been playing cat and mouse with the light
This is what they call inside trading
All this playing cat and mouse with the light
This is what they call inside trading
All this playing cat and mouse with the light
