Ball of the Dead Rat Lyrics
it's been too many nights
that you've been creeping around
stumbling like a monkey
through the underground oh
and you don't wanna be alone
you got your cigarettes
you got your jujyfruit
you can't stand yourself
so you take a substitute oh
and no one liked it when you said
that when you die you're really dead
those people laughing
so you left that stupid scene
and you made your way back home
now you're crying
with your hand on the telephone
oh man it'd sure be nice to have a girl to call your own
do you remember when
you had it figured out
you coulda done no wrong
you coulda worked it out oh
and now you gaze at souvenirs
of the things you did last year
and the screenplay that you wrote down in a book
that no one saw cause they never looked
and the drawing you did when you were very small
and the photograph you hung up on the wall
they'll never catch you when you fall
that you've been creeping around
stumbling like a monkey
through the underground oh
and you don't wanna be alone
you got your jujyfruit
you can't stand yourself
so you take a substitute oh
and no one liked it when you said
that when you die you're really dead
those people laughing
so you left that stupid scene
and you made your way back home
now you're crying
with your hand on the telephone
oh man it'd sure be nice to have a girl to call your own
you had it figured out
you coulda done no wrong
you coulda worked it out oh
and now you gaze at souvenirs
of the things you did last year
and the screenplay that you wrote down in a book
that no one saw cause they never looked
and the drawing you did when you were very small
and the photograph you hung up on the wall
they'll never catch you when you fall
