rat lyrics

Not too smart, just out of school
A teachers pet and modern fool
Talked about being a freelance broker
But the police caught him tryin' 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

And why, why, can't I see you
One day always away
And why, why, can't I be you
One day always away

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

And why, why, can't I see you, one day always away
Why why, can't I be you, one day always away
One day always away, one day always away
One day always away, always away, always away
Down down, no information
