I Came As A Rat

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
