Modest Mouse - King Rat Lyrics

Lyrics King Rat - Modest Mouse



Hahaha I love this shit
Well!
Well!
Well!
Well!
We spun like birds on fire right down towards the residents
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 straight tap water, well I′m going to have to try the real thing
I, I took your life 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 jail's debt free
And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong
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
Well, Oh lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again I said it looks like 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 this is. huh huh huh huh Oh, I don't care
Huh huh huh huh Oh, how I just don′t care
Deep water, deep water senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll, shooken and shy
Oh deep water, deep water senseless denial
Oh I went down like a burnt out rat of a child
Well, King Rat has me on his list again, I can never be on the fence again
Well, I found out it′s all loud open like an organ and it talk, talk, talk, talk, talk again
Well, honest even when I cheated them that I could owe them my heart
Well, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again
Oh deep water, deep water this senseless denial
I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles
Oh well, blue water, deep water oh, senseless denial
I got fed a fist by that con, fuck 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?
