about

I wrote Mantis while in music school. Though it tells the story of a guy and a girl being the "Praying Mantis", it's really a compilation of events I witnessed with many mixed combinations of relationships on campus. I found the whole thing funny since I jumped from one story to the next every two lines. It all made sense, though, in just one song.

lyrics

She is Miss New Orleans-
Miss perfect body, here-
And please don't ask her-
What she likes and what she hates.
She'll pull you by the heartstrings,
With her voice.

She has that swagger style-
And contacts you with eyes so piercing.
Then, it's over from the start,
That you are hers and no one else's.

Tall, slim, lips as red as blood.
Eyes, waist, looks that kill a love.
Heartache. Pain that makes you smile.

'Cause this is what it's like to be around a finger.
Brother dearest, you don't know,
What you've got yourself locked into.

She is Miss I don't know-
What time you think is best for me to try,
And take you for my own.
I'll have a step to work my pheromones.

She is that type of girl-
That no one knows when they are good enough.
It's over from the start,
That you are hers and no one else's.

Vain. Hot. Burns that leave a mark.
Sly. Fox. Even miles apart.
Beg. Plead. Drink until it's gone.

'Cause this is what it's like-
To be around a finger.
Brother dearest, you don't know,
What you've got yourself locked into.

It's over from the start,
That you are hers and no one else's.

Oh!
She's there now.
When she swings and smiles,
And flips her hair.

Oh!
She's ready!
When she twists and turns,
And sing to you.

You are hers and no one else's.

This is what it's like,
To be around a finger.
You are in for a ride,
You'll just keep strugglin' with her.
She will take your life.

It's over from the start,
That you are hers and no one else's.
