I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Short Dock)

Lyrics

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 breakin' them out on the street
 Walkin' 'round in my own bare feet
 I do not need you to tell me that I am 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've been told
 You'll never die and you'll never grow old
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh-yo
 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
 Well, I don't know, but I've been told
 You'll never die and you'll never grow old
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh-yo
 Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
