Carry a Laser
Skirmish: Mondegreens (@excessivemachine)Liner Notes
#misheardlyrics #acousticonetake #acousticrock A friend many years ago was firmly convinced that this was the message of the Mr. Mister song “Kyrie.”
Lyrics
[chorus] Carry a laser down the road Light up the world in all its glory Carry a laser where you go In every chapter of life’s story
[1] Who would we be if we Let time slip by And never thought of What it meant Do we sing Our own lullaby Our days Frivolously spent
[2] Who are your friends If you jump at every chance Through hoops made For rats Where are your feet If you never choose your dance When you were young Did you ask that

I really like how the lyrics sort of echo/parallel the lyrics of Kyrie. Great skirmish!
Nice, catchy melody! The song works as a bit of enigmatic advice, but it's also pretty funny as a reflection on what someone thought they were hearing in "Kyrie."
I love this! The chorus is fantastic! "Jump...through hoops made for rats" is a great image.
