Carry a Laser

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."
