lyrics

DEVIL RAT

i saw a rat
a devil rat
i saw the devil x 3

i was shooting pool
the milky way was trashed
i stepped outside to smoke a joint
but no one had my back
across the street a garbage can
was movin' by itself

i saw a rat
a devil rat
i saw the devil x 3

you might say I'm joking
that i made the whole thing up
but them little beady eyes o' his
look at me / it sucked
i threw a rock in his direction
it was not enough

i saw a rat
a devil rat
i saw the devil x 3

they say yr s'posed t stare em down
the creature will back off
but this bitch he had my #
in his scratchy lil paws
yeah he was com in' after me
his wolverine-like claws

i figured out
it had t be weed
the red-eyed monster
i was seeing
he was a just a dream
