King Rat Lyrics - Modest Mouse

Well! 

Well! 

Well! 

Well! 

We spun like birds on fire right down towards the residence and I 

I took all that I desired, even crooks have to pay the rent. 

We swam like rats on fire right, right down the reservoir 

We took all that we could carry but we tried to carry more. 

And you know you know you know it all went wrong. 

And you know you know you know it was all wrong. 

We choked on street tap water well I'm gonna have to try the real thing 

I took your laugh by the collar and it knew not to swing. 

Anytime I tried an honest job well the till had a hole and ha-ha 

We laughed about payin' rent 'cause the county jails they're free. 

And you know you know you know it all went wrong. 

And you know you know you know it was all wrong. 

Deep water, deep water 

Senseless denial 

I went down like a rag doll as you would, child 

Deep water, deep water 

Senseless denial 

I went down like a rag doll as you would, child 

Oh, lucky lucky lucky lucky me again. 

I said it looks like I've got to use my feet again 

Well I just spent my last one-hundred dollars 

God I'll pay my bill again 

Oh, I don't care 

Oh, how I just don't care. 

Deep water, deep water 

Senseless denial 

I went down like a rag doll shooken and shy 

Deep water, deep water 

Senseless denial 

I went down like a rag doll rat of a child 

Well King rat has me on his list again 

I can never be on the fence again 

I found out it's all loud 

Open like an organ and it 

Talk, talk, talk, talk again 

He promised me that when I cheated him 

But I could open my eye well 

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, 

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again. 

Deep water, deep water 

This senseless denial 

I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles 

Blue water, deep water 

Oh senseless denial 

I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles 

Well well 

What do you have to say for yourself? 

I said, well well 

Well? 

I said well, well, well, well! 

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again. 

I hardly knew I should use my feet again 

What do you have to say for yourself? 

What do you have to say for yourself?
