I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Short Dock) Lyrics

Modest Mouse

Well I Ain't Sure But I Been Told
He's Baking Cakes Inside Our Souls Stayed Awake Took A Nap Got Myself My
Bottles Back
I'm Breaking Them Out In The Street
Walkin' 'round In My Bare Feet
I Do Not Need You To Tell Me That I Am Not A Cat
I Cause 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 Washed The
Dirt Off Our Intentions Prattle 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 Ain't Sure But I Been Told
You Never Die And You Never Grow Old
I Came As 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 It's 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 Been Told You Never Die And You Never Grow Old
