Analysis of The chase
The thrill is all in the chase
Once the mouse was caught the game was no fun
There was no point in playing and everything was done
The excitements from the initial stage
Were dropped and now there’s only rage
What are you to do when the object is caught
Everything is destroyed that was first brought
It was a delight to have you in our game of chess
Now the king has been captured creating a mess
Having possession defeats the joy
It was much better when you were just a toy
The thrill is all in the chase
