Woke up to a rainy breath Echoing off my wall And I knew I wasn't alone A knock came running down the hall Ooo the rats in town I smell her coming Ya she's always on my mind Come up behind me with her pearly eyes of death She put her hands around my neck in total silence Footsteps over my shoulder And everybody says it's nice When the rats come 'round They know I love 'em They can get it while it's fresh Come to the show you'll know exactly who I am When the future comes Is that a poem? Are you a poet? Thought you were mumbling that shit I should've known it Ya the rats in town I smell you coming 'Cos you're always on my mind Your greasy grip scratching at every move I make Go on babe Take it away
