Fat City (Slight Return) Lyrics
I musta been near, unclear
It's dark as hell and hot in here
But I'm ready for the strobe-
So release me so I can find-
The couple comes over, I fear-
That they'll lead me to the garden
Where anything I want is close
Everything I wanted most
Nathan runs a little river-
Cathy gets high-
Joey got arrested when he messed up
Round about sixteen times-
Why you take from a giver?
Why you gotta get high?
Why you watch a carwreck,
Muthafucker?
Cause it looks fun to die.
The ship it listed- and things got twisted
Bow down and get yourself lifted-
Party at the mansion, y'all
Party on the day before the fall
You all- Better Listen
Don't question my volition-
The hard way, the easy way,
The only way-
The lonely way-
Save yourself, you little sinner
Path it up right
Take the road less traveled
Make sure you keep that shit all tight
Kali nichta...
It's dark as hell and hot in here
But I'm ready for the strobe-
So release me so I can find-
The couple comes over, I fear-
That they'll lead me to the garden
Where anything I want is close
Everything I wanted most
Cathy gets high-
Joey got arrested when he messed up
Round about sixteen times-
Why you take from a giver?
Why you gotta get high?
Why you watch a carwreck,
Muthafucker?
Cause it looks fun to die.
Bow down and get yourself lifted-
Party at the mansion, y'all
Party on the day before the fall
You all- Better Listen
Don't question my volition-
The hard way, the easy way,
The only way-
The lonely way-
Path it up right
Take the road less traveled
Make sure you keep that shit all tight

Fat City is a specific part of metro New Orleans (in Metairie actually) that's know for it's night-clubs, drugs and general wildness. I'm sure this song is about Dulli's times in Fat City while he was living in New Orleans.
"Its dark as hell and hot in here But I'm ready for the strobe" - alludes to the nightclubs
"The couple comes over, I fear That they'll lead me to the garden Where anything I want is close Everything I wanted most" - alluding to scoring some drugs I think
