Huh? Who's there? Dog at the front door barking at the air Wind all "whsshsh" in the trees Then, "chk-chk-chk-chk," feet on leaves Uh, it's probably a cat Might be a guy with an ax Might be a trap, shit, it's probably a trap Might be a possum in the trash It's probably a trap "Ayy, keep it moving," God, I sound stupid Good chance I'm not even talking to a human Then again it's probably a trap, somebody had to set it Depending on the type, maybe several Yeah, that's it, it's probably several, several come together To make what would've taken one forever I'm thinking it's a pretty damn sophisticated trap Utilizing some technology I didn't know we had Hmm, maybe I am entirely tripping It might've been the neighbor's kid, but I have my suspicions I wish it were as simple as a critter, but it isn't I feel that it's important we consider all dimensions Like, oh, I don't know, maybe it's a trap I step onto the lawn, y'all jump out with the bag I wake up in some alley on a wholly other plane Can't remember who I am or how to get back to the base I realize you people think that I am off the deep end I'll say that it's a lovely night regardless of the BS It is, a perfect snow is freckling the path It's almost like the atmosphere is begging for a trap The mutt goes quiet, one last sniff, lopes inside Fine, it might've been a baby squirrel who tumbled from the nest It's probably just you motherfuckers missed
