The Paper Chase - This Is A Rape (The Flood) lyrics

This flood wants to rape you Outside it resides and it smiles Lucy, we've all come to save you But first we'll see how loud you scream This flood doesn't like you He wants to be alone, but he can't be lonely This flood soaks your curtains, you give him your certains You give him your plans, you give him your thirties This is a rape, this is a bankrupt robbery a grand larceny So hands will go up, this is a stick up Give me everything If only we could hold this forever The breath, the breath, the headline rising We will scramble just to dam up the river But knowing full well we don't be staying dry Go home, go home To your dismal apartment see how the flood left it Go home, go home Give those bovines a bedsore 'Cause that's all you're good for, you know Now you know Once you sandbag the walls and pray to God to defend that You know, we all know All the king's men can't put this back together again My soul don't want peace or tranquility My inner self does not require equanimity My soul wants reservations No, I wanna be someone who never needs reservations In my heart I want my nose to be smaller My incarnation wants my fingernails longer And when it comes up to your knees Don't hold your breath, just breathe in deep I want to be able to say in a disa**ociated way "What the f**," and "Whatever" If only we could hold this forever The breath, the breath, the flood line rising We'll scramble just to dam up the river But knowing full well we won't be staying dry Go home, go home Keep your hands where I see them Your wallets, your reason Go home, go home It's your life or your money do don't try nothing funny You know, now you know Once you sandbag the walls and pray God to defend that You know, we all know All the king's men can't put this back together again
