Modest Mouse

King Rat

Well!

Well!

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 know it 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

Deep water, deep water

Senseless denial

I went down like a rag doll shooken and shy

Deep water, deep water

Senseless denial

I went down like a rag doll rat of a child

Well king rat has me on his list again

I can never be on the fence again

I found out it's all loud

Open like an organ and it

talk, talk, talk, talk again

he promised me that when I cheated him

But I could open my eye well...

lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky,

lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again

Deep water, deep water

Senseless denial

I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles

Deep water, deep water

Senseless denial

I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles

Well Well...

What do you have to say for yourself?

I said, well well

Well?

I said well, well, well, well!

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.

I hardly knew I should use my feet again

What do you have to say for yourself?

What do you have to say for yourself?
