Lyrics Hollow (Rat Race) - Ghostown

People they may follow
But it's really so hollow
Got my head down in a burrow
Like im waiting for tomorrow
Isle of Islay drown my sorrow
Now I'm on the straight and narrow
Dark figures in the shadows
I'm filling up my barrow
Like what can I borrow?

Back in the rat race
Serving a phat plate
Grab your attache case, slapping your fat face
Snap, how's that taste? mouse and the cat chase
Payback a flat rate, Pete's sake, house is
Sold better cuddle up
Cold better huddle up
Dont get muddled up, move better saddle up
Dry with a sudden thirst, don't let the bubble burst
Not getting any worse, universe bumbling
1 step forward, 2 steps back
Now who said that, its a moving trap
Got my shoes intact, now I'm losing track
And I'm cruising back with a sat nav, god damn
Like im in a film but I dunno what scene im in
I should've been something less ambivalent
There would've been no kidding much dividends
That would've been so sweet like cinnamon
Rich make us all bow, bitch makes us all frown
Bound by the law now, slave with a chain and a ball
And a cinderella ball gown, domino fall down
Who you gonna call now, raw now
So stop pretending, will never bending
Give a bit of lending, race never ending
Shin dig ascending there's no repenting

People they may follow
But it's really so hollow
Got my head down in a burrow
Like im waiting for tomorrow
Isle of Islay drown my sorrow
Now I'm on the straight and narrow
Dark figures in the shadows
I'm filling up my barrow
Like what can I borrow?

How you ever gonna get a hundred grand
Without being underhand?
Came up with a cunning plan
Out with a gun in hand
Ending up a hunted man, that would be a bummer man
Plan became redundant man, want that
Habitat, house so elaborate
Floor not laminate, drinks in the cabinet
I'll have a little dab of that, that looks fabulous
Thank you for having us, I was getting ravenous
Dunno what I wanna buy, caterpillar butterfly
Greener on the other side, sing a sweeter lullaby
Not so subtle I, swim in a puddle, fly in a shuttle I, cry in a muddle
He's but a day old, look for the payroll
Not gonna stay low, rocking the labels
Mourning a man who was born in a stable
Call it a fable, able to disable
How you ever gonna get to sign them up
Then line them up, then divide them up
How you ever gonna get to light them up
Then decide who's up, then fight them up
How can you manage, collateral damage
Corpses they scavenge while smelling of lavender
Red and not sober, I'd rather not know but
I'm dreading the overdraft, come on man don't be daft

People they may follow
But it's really so hollow
Got my head down in a burrow
Like im waiting for tomorrow
Isle of islay drown my sorrow
Now I'm on the straight and narrow
Dark figures in the shadows
I'm filling up my barrow
Like what can I borrow?

People they may follow
But it's really so hollow
Got my head down in a burrow
Like im waiting for tomorrow
Isle of islay drown my sorrow
Now I'm on the straight and narrow
Dark figures in the shadows

Like what can I borrow?
