I Came As A Rat Lyrics - The Moon & Antarctica - Modest Mouse

Well I ain't sure but I've been told 

He's baking cakes inside our souls 

Stayed awake, took a nap 

Got myself my bottles back 

I'm breaking down out on the street 

Walkin' round my own bare feet 

I do not need you to tell me 

That I'm not a cat 

I caught a rat, we caught some air 

He's never gonna cut his hair 

He takes more time to make a fake 

We now swam down in the lake 

And wash the dirt off our intentions 

Paddle on with our bad inventions 

I came as ice, I came as a whore 

I came as advice that came too sure 

I came as gold, I came as crap 

I came too 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 

I don't know but I've been told 

You'll never die and you never grow old 

I came as a 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 a surprise 

It takes a long time, but God dies too 

But not before he'll stick it to you 

I don't know but I've been told 

You'll never die and you never grow old
