lyrics

"Fat ol rat"

Well sometimes I forget just who I am. I hide out like a hermit crab, shut up like a clam. If you forget just who you are, get in and take a long drive in your car.
In your car you can drive around the whole world and not give a damn. In my mind the lion is sleeping with the lamb.

First impressions get mighty old. Not sure if I'm jaded or the world grew cold. I don't wanna be a victim of World War III. The Devil and God to keep me company. But there’s a fat ol' rat running down the sidewalk. But I'm safe inside my tin foil blanket. Sometimes I sit and think about the world. Other times I sit alone and don't say a word.

Sometimes I get down but I always stand up. I put into perspective my overflowing cup. I like the kinda parties where I hang out with the dog. Sittin' in the corner like a bump on a log. Jump off the log start out to running.
Open up your eyes and you see something stunning.
Put on your hat, put on your coat. Step out the door thats all she wrote man.

Now don't talk about money. ‘Cuz it makes no sense. Makes people act funny. Increase their confidence.
No I don't need a dollar to give me a spine. Even if I had one it wouldn't pacify my mind. ‘Cuz my mind is wandering, but my roots are planted. Always pondering the things I took for granted. Barely have time nowadays to think at all. If you wanna get together, let's get a drink, give me a call.
Call me on the phone...
Anytime...
Day or night i'll answer...
We can have some fun
