Lyrics Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse

I Came as a Rat

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' around 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 been told

You'll never die and you'll never grow old

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

I don't know, but I've been told

You never die and you'll never grow old
