I wrote and recorded this one after yet another night when the wife fell asleep before me and I slinked away like a theif in the night to the studio to screw around. The muse, she needs attention. - Knux

lyrics

You fellas know what I'm talkin' 'bout
You ladies know it too
It's not something you think about
It's not something you choose
Sometimes you just gotta go
There is no good excuse
You know she needs attention
My mistress, the muse

My mistress, the muse!
My mistress, the muse!
My mistress, the muse!

If I put it off too long
She'll show up late at night
Screamin' on my lawn, wakin' the neighbors, angling for a fight
I need to pacify her
She's got a real short fuse
She wants to break up my happy home
My mistress, the muse

My mistress, the muse!
My mistress, the muse!
My mistress, the muse!

My wife's getting suspicious
I seem so lost in thought
She's bound to figure out soon
It's like I'm hoping to get caught
She's gonna have to share me
It's up to her to choose
Who knows, she may just leave me
My mistress, the muse

My mistress, the muse!
My mistress, the muse!
My mistress, the muse!

The duo have been making music under that name since 2008, but their collaboration began when they formed The Late Fees, Austin's potty-mouthed doo-wop-punk band. The group's self-titled 2007 record garnered fans and kudos from around the world. Since disbanding the Fees, Zim & Knux have continued putting out new stuff. ... more
