Bobby and the Rat-Kings |
| I’m an elevator kid pushing buttons when I wanna go home |
| But my generation hasn’t even got a name of its own |
| We just buy what the TV sells |
| And almost never stop wishing we were somebody else |
| But tonight in the dark |
| I can be myself |
| When Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play |
| We’ll make 'em stay |
| We’ll make 'em play |
| Play til the stars all fade |
| We’ll make 'em stay til dawn |
| Make 'em play all night til the light |
| Like we’ve never seen nuthin' |
| Like we’ll we’ll never see anybody ever again |
| When the Rat-Kings go away |
| We’ll never be the same |
| Z tried to edit Reddit instead it said it had eaten her phone |
| She goes from tinder to cinder |
| Til she remembers she’s a flame of her own |
| You can almost lose your heart |
| Hoping for something better til it tears you apart |
| While the days get longer and this night won’t start |
| But when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play |
| We’ll make 'em stay |
| We’ll make 'em play |
| Play til the stars all fade |
| We’ll make 'em stay til dawn |
| Make 'em play all night til the light |
| Like we’ve never seen nuthin' |
| Like we’ll we’ll never see anybody ever again |
| When the Rat-Kings go away |
| We’ll never be the same again |
| Now Joey’s gotta run for the train |
| Says he’s trying to make it |
| Back to the City by ten |
| And Mike’s on his bike with the motor running |
| I told him trains were running all night right then |
| In the moonlit town after the bridge fell down |
| There were fires and we lost some power |
| So we all dressed up for the ramble |
| And ran those streets long past the witching hour |
| I saw Dorothy in drag |
| Taking the Tin Man for a ride |
| And then Z the Cat said she knew where to go |
| Then she kissed me without a thought |
| And said «Sometimes memories are all that we got |
| So come on boy, let’s make some at the show» |
| So there’s some leather-wrapped Fender-strapped kid |
| With a pick-finger twitch |
| He’s got a recipe for radio or rain |
| I don’t know which |
| In the shadows when the lights are dowsed |
| The cinder kids flare while they twist and shout |
| We’re the sparks in the dark |
| That’ll never go out |
| So when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play |
| We’ll make 'em stay |
| We’ll make 'em play |
| Play til the stars all fade |
| We’ll make 'em stay til dawn |
| Make 'em play all night til the light |
| Like we’ve never seen nuthin' |
| Like we’ll we’ll never see anybody ever again |
| When the Rat-Kings go away |
| We’ll never be the same again |
