Rat

[Verse 1] Not too smart, just out of school A teachers pet and modern fool Talked about being a freelance broker But the police caught him trying to choke her Can't describe him in his corner, no, no Like a rat out of the water, out of work and out of grass Mother Mary never seems to stop to talk, she just walked on past Down down, no information, one day always, away [Chorus] And why, why, can't I see you One day always away And why, why, can't I be you One day always away [Verse 2] He's out of school now, just another taken barstool And this neighborhood ain't what he had in mind, no, no Wants to be your girlfriend and wants to be your boyfriend Wants to be your telephone, wants to, wants to be your own man [Chorus] And why, why, can't I see you, one day always away Why why, can't I be you One day always away [x4] Always away [x2] Down down, no information
