The Slip - Even Rats lyrics

rate me

Even the rats know the troubles gonna come

To the edge of the city see the little guys run

I hear spring is nice in Canada

Maybe the men up on capitol hill

Meed a little less Jack and a little more Jill

You can have my stereo

Even though the race may never be won

I can lay like a dandy get ready in the sun

Take a love song and beautify

(whoah)

I hear the words but the meaning gets lost

It's a game, that depends on who the ball gets tossed

It's the same ball anyway

You're tuggin' me know cut me loose or take me on

You can play, you can pay the piper all night long

That's some good home cookin'

Even though the race may never be won

I can lay like a dandy get ready in the sun

take a love song and beautify

(whoah)

**alternate line in second verse:

if you can hear me now

then you're halfway there

just a jump from your window

fly naked through the air

Take a long hard look
