Billboard charting artist, Miz Mandy, has partnered with Los Angeles based songwriter, composer, and music producer, Ryan Franks, to co-write and produce ten new original pop songs on Miz Mandy’s third album Mouse Trap.
Work began on the album late in 2010 and was released November 25, 2011. Mouse Trap departs from Miz Mandy’s historically classic pop and dance sound to a new electronic retro pop / rock sound with highly orchestrated music and characterized lyrical writing.

I’m lying in wait, my heart rate, a twist of plot seals my fate
Cherry soaked in my martini
Ammo emptied to my purse, remedy my hope diamond curse
Cast the die and disobey
Handsome darling on the run, the silencer of my gold gun
Trigger carnal power play
A well-laid gimmick to outfox, bait and switch Pandora’s box
You are the cat’s pajamas and I want to try you on
You get this kitty purring, gonna catch your tail ‘fore to long
Flawless fit of my slinky dress
Silhouette of my curvy hips, the perfect secret on my lips,
Like a snake in grass I must confess
I’ll take ya lying down, as Mr. Martin rolls us around
21 to my blackjack hand
The Russian to my roulette, aid and abet a moving target
Muted trumpet in the house jazz band
A smoke and mirrors get-away, there’s hanky panky hell to pay
In the world of Tom’s and Molly’s, I’m one carnivorous freak
I’m prone to biting and hissing, as pheromones increase
I’m wild and nocturnal, but you rub my fur the right way baby
Let’s get crazy
Catnip and bull whip, Unzip and skinnydip
Meow
Dirty sheets and spreading rumors,
Masochistic sense of humor
I like the drag of the early mornings,
While ignoring early warnings
Afternoons of tipping chairs
And the likelihood of mismatched pairs
Gasoline run through my veins
Keep me sober, Keep me sane
Burn my fire, Play your game
Diesel, my love
Fill my engine, Feed the flame
Drink you in it’s all the same
Scream it til I know your name
Diesel, my love
Conversations, worthless wishes,
drunken stupor attendant dishes
Tie you up with desperate measures,
complicate my simple pleasures
Call me crazy but, what’s wrong feels right
Gotta little bad girl in me, lovers will bite
With one fatal kiss comes an easy fool
My pleasure of pain, my addicts fuel
We’ve poisoned each other, Diesel
…. I like me a bad boy, baby
No rest for terror, secret stab in the back
I’ve heard your story, I know your lies,
Play dumb to cover, malicious delight,
Fold you up, like a paper tiger
Cut you out, like a paper tiger
Tear you down, like a paper tiger
Tiger, you ain’t nothing now
Even on paper, paper, poor excuse for a tiger
Guilty of crime, Fool’s paradise
Truth will prevail, mastermind self-demise
Caught with your hand, in the cookie jar,
Walls tumble down, as you go too far,
Liar Liar pants on fire
You take the term bitch a notch higher
You were part of me when we came too
Thirteen years of Paradise,
Unconsciously roll the dice
That dirty snake kept calling your name
You were perfect, I will take the blame
Playing by the rules but wonderfully confused
If God keeps the secrets, the devil knows the truth
I was just in heaven
Now there’s only ghosts and gloom
Why’d you go so soon?
All good things diminish
They say Hell is nothing new
And you can’t go back to Eden
No, you can’t go back
That apple tree caught you between what’s wrong and right
You’ve had your chance and taken your last bite
If knowledge is regret
Then stupid keeps you innocent
In the end, The snake and apple have won
Don’t know what you have til what you’ve had is gone
Stuck back in time, searching for familiar rhyme
If God sings melody, the devil keeps the time
You were the Adam to my Eve
Nothing but dreams and memories
I can always have you there
A little doggie on a fox’ scent is closing in on you
Each day seems to get worse no matter how hard I try
I bang my head against the wall, Pull myself along for the ride
Put your gloves on, get your head right
Tomorrows a knock down drag out fight
Keep your guard up, stiff uppercut
Bound and gag, knockout tomorrow’s drag
The Morning sighs a deep breath, inhalin and blowin smoke
This road seems too long, a never ending joke
I’m moving so slow, so low,
you gotta dredge the river bed for me
I’m afraid of what I got coming I can taste my own defeat
I’m tired of this ball and chain
I’m bout to go insane
It’s a, parody we can’t perceive,
There’s a …
Holding the crowded bag consciously,
Lamb damage to soul power set me free,
Gold shadow show inside can steer balance
Red inked academy, two-wheel allowance,
Now trippy slide and slippy vagabonds
Each ones a church mouse eatin corn and gru-ubs
Shoestring and four square, Rainy day shakeout,
Lightning fine feather, cold turkey fever bout
Merry go round till we fall down
Truth or dare, fresh out of thin air
Wild and free, rosy posy
Spinning hours as super powers,
Dream awake, Vertigo heartache,
Houses of subdivide, a globe of snow
Caught in the talons of a jimmy crow
In one fell swoop a Roman holiday
Humanity’s atomic lull, mon-anarchy,
Horsepower hot potato pickle juice,
Rabbit thunderhead, mother shuns a truce
Sun-origin shake and roll, Cosmic melt,
Whole skin on the line kind and father’s belt
Common sense is on the fences
Human toxin ollie oxen
Ride Sam’s jokester roller coaster
No pretending, World is ending
The bartender pours for the femme fatale
At a nearby table, bell’uomo eyes go starry,
In awe of her beauty, he chokes on his Campari
Catch a glance, cherry splashy
Her silk blouse J’ai fait un gâchis
He’s quick to notice, gocciolante and wet skin,
He rushes to help, let the twist begin
Colliding out of the blue – Twist twist
You know it’s long overdue – Twist twist
We’ll do just what we want to – Twist twist
It’s taboo, but I wanna twist with you
Caio Bella, Mon Cheri
Every unknown word was heard with ease
Shaken and stirred, musical pas de deux,
Devo avere, oh the things she wants to do
No need to be, indiscreet
Definitely time for Tête-à-tête en Suite
Both have surrendered, destiny will win,
Collect their things in haste, let the twist begin
Bodies tangled in the sheets,
Time after time the twist repeats
Come together so easily
Twist one off the next round is on me
The water is calming my every care
Quiet in mind, safe and alone
As dragonflies play in my hair
Sun kissed skin and breeze so pure
Spending my time how I please
Taste of fresh air and salty water
Travel adrift on the seas
A stillness in the air, The tide was bound to turn
You stole my love
Left me washed up, and u
Capsized my boat
Can I still float
Coup de main charming corsair
I became lost when you freely misled
Anchored me with your savage affair
Ravaged and left me for dead
A little offer that you can’t refuse
So you sell the soul you used
And the devil is amused
But what goes around
Comes right back round to you
What we sow, we reap
Don’t be fooled, we become what we do, through and through
Shot Down
I’ll Collar up and leash the bitch
I’m gonna pull out all the stops
To queer the pitch,
Watch Out
Off roadin’ straight into the ditch
I’m gonna pull out all the stops
To queer the pitch
The bandwagon is keepin’ up with the Mr. Jones’
I do not dare to dare echoes bouncing off of my bones
That puppeteer won’t let my strings alone
But my fall from grace
Won’t come easy, I’ll be fighting tooth and nail, can’t go wrong
We want it, We need it, Gotta have it, But we can’t get it
So you cop out, You sellout,
Then ya give out, What you can’t make out
Then He gives you, He takes you,
Controls you, now he’s got you
It’s gonna be just fine lady
Your body can’t slow you down now
Your worry can’t keep you low down
Your vision is clear
There’s nothing to fear
The future is bright
it’s alright
One falling Moon, one rising sun
Go with the flow, life carries on
Break it out boy,
Let your guard down,
Time to raise your voice
You got nothing to prove
Shake it up girl
Let your hair down
Time to make your world
You got nothing to lose
It’s time to get dancing honey
It’s time to get singing sonny
Everyone smiles where you roam
Everywhere welcomes you home
The timing is right
To lighten your life
Whatever may come
Just have fun
Transcend thru space and time
Troubles out of ya mind
Tonight time to unwind
Just be, break free
