[Verse 1] Blue cots, red cups, dusk in the gym Louisiana mud draws maps on my hem You say, “Find the beast,” with a grin like a blade I follow wet footprints where the rafters sway [Pre-Chorus] A king in a towel, a crown made of foil The coffee goes cold; the whole room coils I check every doorway, I check every face That bull-headed secret keeps changing its place [Chorus] Where’s my Minotaur, honey? Which hall, which door? The chorus is counting while the ceiling keeps score Oh, look at us waiting, all dressed up in dread A Greek tragedy blooming on borrowed beds Find me the beast, find me the thread Sweet little storm with a roof overhead [Verse 2] Wet shoes in a row like a jury at trial Miss June deals cards with a sideways smile A girl draws horns on a paper plate mask I ask what the monster wants; she says, “A snack.” [Pre-Chorus] The plot thickens slow in a Styrofoam cup Somebody’s screams keep interrupting the setup I smooth my damp hair, give fate a look Darlin’, if this is a maze, it needs a better... [Chorus] Where’s my Minotaur, honey? Which hall, which door? The chorus is counting while the ceiling keeps score Oh, look at us waiting, all dressed up in dread A Greek tragedy blooming on borrowed beds Find me the beast, find me the thread Sweet little storm with a roof overhead [Bridge] Find—find—find him Not here—not there Horns in the window Salt in my hair [Final Chorus] Where’s my Minotaur, honey? I’ve searched every door The chorus is laughing; the rain asks for more Queen of the cots till the morning turns red The gods can keep arguing over our heads Find me the beast, find me the thread I’ve got my shoes off, and a cold beer instead [Outro] Mm, bless your heart The maze can't wait The sky’s still red And I’m running... [Instrumental outro]
