Lyrics Modest Mouse – One Chance

We have one chance.
One chance to get everything right.
We have one chance, one chance.
And if we’re lucky we might.

My friends, my habits, my family,
they mean so much to me.
I just don’t think that it’s right.
I’ve seen so many ships sail in,
just to head back out again and go off sinking.

I’m just a box in a cage. I’m just a box in a cage.
I’m just a box, just a box in a cage.
I’m just a box, just a box in a cage.
I’m just a box, just a box in a cage.
I’m just a box in a cage.

Didn’t mean to laugh, didn’t know I had.
Didn’t know the better part of what you said
cuz in your head you are not home.

Didn’t get the joke. Didn’t mean to poke another,
just to save myself
from some something something or another one.
Well walk home.

I’m just a box in a cage. I’m just a box in a cage.
I’m just a box, just a box in a cage.
I’m just a box in a cage.

I’m just a box, just a box in a cage.
I’m just a box, just a box in a cage.
I’m just a box in a cage.

We have one chance,
one chance to get everything right.
My friends, my habits, my family,
