"I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Short Dock)" lyrics
"I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Short Dock)"
Well, I ain't sure, but I've been told
He's baking cakes inside our souls
Stayed awake, took a nap
Got myself my bottles back
I'm breaking them out on the street
Walking 'round in my own bare feet
I do not need you to tell me that I'm not a cat
I caught a ride, we caught some air
He's never gonna cut his hair
It takes more time to make a fake
We night swam down in the lake
And washed the dirt off our intentions
Prattled on 'bout bad inventions
I came as ice, I came as a whore
I came as advice that came too short
I came as gold, I came as crap
I came clean and I came as a rat
It takes a long time, but God dies too
But not before he'll stick it to you
Well, I don't know, but I been told
You'll never die and you'll never grow old
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
I came as a call, I came as flat
I came too soon, so I came back
I came as flowers, I came as nice
I came as dirt, and I came as its price
It takes a long time, but God dies too
But not before he'll stick it to you
I don't know, but I've been told
You never die and you'll never grow old
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, oh
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh

At The Drive-In - "One Armed Scissor" yes this is the campaign
slithered entrails

The Postal Service - "Such Great Heights" I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned

That God himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes...
Spoon - "I Turn My Camera On" I turn my camera on
I cut my fingers on the way
The way I'm slipping away
I turn my feelings off

You hit me like a...
Japandroids - "Young Hearts Spark Fire" We finished our old lives
Like we finished off the wine
Now we're used to staying up all night
Two hearts beating

Grandaddy - "A.M. 180" Don't change your name
Keep it the same
For fear I may lose you again
I know you won't
It's just that I am unorganized
And I want to find you when
Something good happens
If you come down
We'll go to...
