"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
