Rough On Rats |
| Your crawfish fingers and your dirty dregs |
| Your sideways stingers and your wooden legs |
| They’re throwing out jewels like rotten eggs |
| 'Cause it’s Christmas in Siam and we’re rough on rats |
| Your scarecrow spiders and your shipwreck bones |
| The fossilized bibles of Geronimo Jones |
| His star-spangled army in their roadhouse clothes |
| 'Cause a hero can’t bronze his soul and we’re rough on rats |
| There’s shattered glass on the dance floor |
| A cop chaperoning a doll |
| The testament of a landlord |
| Who’s living in a hollow log |
| The burlap flowers and the cocaine dirt |
| The horn of plenty in a desert of hurt |
| The corduroy boy in the killjoy shirt |
| He’s a stereotype on ice and we’re rough on rats |
| So what do you think you could take from the heap |
| Where the haystack needles are piled up cheap? |
| You can buy what’s useless and steal what you need |
| In the pink penitentiary and we’re rough on rats |
