Woke up to a rainy breath Echoing off my wall And I knew I wasn't alone A knock came running down the hall Ooo the rats in town I smell her coming Ya she's always on my mind Come up behind me with her pearly eyes of d**h She put her hands around my neck in total silence Footsteps over my shoulder And everybody says it's nice When the rats come 'round
They know I love 'em They can get it while it's fresh Come to the show you'll know exactly who I am When the future comes Is that a poem? Are you a poet? Thought you were mumbling that sh** I should've known it Ya the rats in town I smell you coming 'Cos you're always on my mind Your greasy grip scratching at every move I make Go on babe Take it away
