"IDEAL" lyrics
(U.K.)
Paint me a portrait of your favorite feeling
Like that time you scraped your knee
Tripping on a stoop near Bowery and 3rd
Sit and bench it with me
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
My body feeling good, I'm feeling alright
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good
So tell me what's your sign, a Pisces sun?
A water sun never shone so bright
Walk through the streets the spotlights hit me at first
Do you even need to ask?
Kiss me by the arch and by the moonlight
Let the fountain spray me stained
And hear the instrumentals in the trees
Come walk with me, come walk with me
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
My body feeling good, I'm feeling alright
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
My body feeling good, I'm feeling alright
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good
Every morning, every night, every afternoon of my life
I've seen them scuttling along the tracks
Between passing metal behemoths
They always look so carefree
They don't have anything on their mind
They don't care what Bill de Blasio is doing
Whether he's giving enough snow days
So one day, one my way to work on the 4/5
I just decided to hop into the tracks
I disrobed, I was nude, I was one of them
I was among the rats! I didn't care if my kid got a B in school
I didn't care if de Blasio gave enough snow days
I didn't care who died, who jumped into the tracks
Who made me late for work on Tuesday
Because I was one of them!
I could feel my scaly tale protruding from my back!
I could feel the fur slowly growing out of my pores
And for the first time in my entire life, I felt free
I had not escaped the rat race, I was the rat
I was racing, and so was my heart
For the first time in my life, I had finally felt like myself
And I invite all of you, each and every one of you
To join me in this RAT-VOLUTION!
Paint me a portrait of your favorite feeling
Like that time you scraped your knee
Tripping on a stoop near Bowery and 3rd
Sit and bench it with me
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
My body feeling good, I'm feeling alright
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good
So tell me what's your sign, a Pisces sun?
A water sun never shone so bright
Walk through the streets the spotlights hit me at first
Do you even need to ask?
Kiss me by the arch and by the moonlight
Let the fountain spray me stained
And hear the instrumentals in the trees
Come walk with me, come walk with me
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
My body feeling good, I'm feeling alright
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
My body feeling good, I'm feeling alright
Kissing by the fountain in the moonlight
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good
Every morning, every night, every afternoon of my life
I've seen them scuttling along the tracks
Between passing metal behemoths
They always look so carefree
They don't have anything on their mind
They don't care what Bill de Blasio is doing
Whether he's giving enough snow days
So one day, one my way to work on the 4/5
I just decided to hop into the tracks
I disrobed, I was nude, I was one of them
I was among the rats! I didn't care if my kid got a B in school
I didn't care if de Blasio gave enough snow days
I didn't care who died, who jumped into the tracks
Who made me late for work on Tuesday
Because I was one of them!
I could feel my scaly tale protruding from my back!
I could feel the fur slowly growing out of my pores
And for the first time in my entire life, I felt free

For the first time in my life, I had finally felt like myself
And I invite all of you, each and every one of you
To join me in this RAT-VOLUTION!
