Wise Blood Rat lyrics

I hear but don't believe that
Kissed a wailing rat
Didn't even have time to take his body outside
Four arms and pull ups all in habit to be
Didn't waste a single minute from his head to his feet
And I could cry all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I thought the rat king is boss
I can hear him in the wall always cracking his whip
He's got a little eye patch and an iron fist
If you really piss him off he'll come looking for you
He's got a whole group of friends, 20 more than I knew
And I can argue all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I know the rat king is boss
Last days I spent far away
I run the risk of getting sawed if I show my face
Had this crazy idea, we could shack up a truce
But I don't have any leverage so it's really no use
And I could cry all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I thought the rat king is boss

All the trash that I said just ended up in my bed
With a gallon of blood and a dead cat's head
I've been keeping it cool but it's been getting to me
I've got these vivid nightmares every time that I sleep
And I can argue all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I know the rat king is boss
One day soon I'm gonna rent out a room
I'm gonna buy a new dog and he's smell like perfume
But until that time I will be stuck right here
Where half my life's swallowed up by this fear
And I can cry all I want but it won't matter much
At the end of the day I know the rat king is boss
Them other mice have been gone though we call it a don
Now it's just me and him and that's what I really want
It's time that I took a stand cause I'm in under attack
I'm going in for the kill, I'm not sure that I'll be back
