MODEST MOUSE lyrics : "King Rats"

Well!

We spun like birds on fire

Right down towards the residence, and I
I took all that I desired
Even crooks have to pay the rent

We swam like rats on fire, right
Right down the reservoir
We took all that we could carry

But we tried to carry more

And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong

And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong

We choked on street tap water, well

I'm going to have to try the real thing
I took your laugh by the collar
And it knew not to swing

Any time I tried an honest job
Well, the till had a hole and ha-ha
We laughed about paying rent

Because the county jails, they're free

And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong

And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong

Deep water, deep water

Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll as you would child!
(repeat)


Oh, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.
I said it looks like I've got to use my feet again

Well I just spent my last one hundred dollars
God, I'll pay my bill again
Oh-oh-oh, I don't care

Oh-oh-oh, how I just don't care

Deep water, deep water

Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll, shooken and shy
Deep water, deep water

Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll rat of a child


Well, King Rat has me on his list again
I can never be on the fence again
I found out it's all loud

Open like an organ and it
Talk, talk, talk, talk again
He promised me that when I cheated him

But I could open my eye, well
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again


Deep water, deep water
This senseless denial

I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles
Blue water, deep water
Oh, senseless denial

I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles

Well, well

What do you have to say for yourself?
I said, well, well
Well?

I said well, well, well, well!

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again

I hardly knew I should use my feet again
What do you have to say for yourself?
What do you have to say for yourself?
