King Rat |
| 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 in it |
| We laughed about paying rent |
| 'Cause the county jails they’re free |
| And you know, you know, you know it was all 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 |
| Well, deep water, deep water, senseless denial |
| I went down like a rag doll as you would, child |
| Oh, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again |
| I said it looks it’s time to use my feet again |
| Well, I just spent my last one hundred dollars |
| God, I’ll pay my bill again |
| Oh, I don’t care |
| Oh, I just don’t care |
| Deep water, deep water, senseless denial |
| I went down like a rag doll shaken and shy |
| Deep water, deep water, senseless denial |
| I went down like a burned out rag 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, senseless denial |
| I got fed like a fish full of open smiles |
| Blue water, deep water, 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, 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? |
