lyrics

oh, and I

I run a lot of crooked mazes at night
yeah I run a lot of crooked mazes at night
yeah I run a lot of crooked mazes at night
yeah I run a lot of crooked mazes at night

and you can’t tell me anything that I don’t already know

yeah I run a lot of crooked mazes at night
yeah I run a lot of crooked mazes at night
yeah I run a lot of crooked mazes at night
yeah I run a lot of crooked mazes at night

you can’t tell me anything that I don’t already know
and you can’t tell me anything that I don’t already know

notes

“Mazes” is from 2009, which would make it among the last things Ross recorded. What he knew — what it took me a while to realize when we were bandmates — is that songs don’t necessarily require two verses, a chorus and a bridge. Sometimes all they need is two perfect lines.
