Modest Mouse – King Rat
Well!
Well!
We spun like birds on fire right down towards the residence 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 knowit was all wrong
We choked on street tap water well I’m gonna have to try the real thing
I took your laugh by the collar and it knew not to swing
Anytime I tried an honest job well the till had a hole and ha-ha
We laughed about payin’ rent ’cause the county jails they’re free
And you know you know you know it all went wrong
And 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
Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll as you would, child
Oh, lucky lucky lucky lucky me again
I said it looks like I’ve got to use my feet again
Well I just spent my last one-hundred dollars
God I’ll pay my bill again
Oh, I don’t care
Oh, how I just don’t care
