lyrics

Up A Rat’s Ass

I crawled up a rat’s ass. It’s peaceful here and quiet, and I can’t complain about the view. There are no child molesters here abusing baby cupid with their insipid harmonies.

Pleasant people in bright costumes speak in confident voices. Fortunately, I can’t hear them. I have myself for company and that’s one too many. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

It’s a miracle my brain doesn’t drain out of my ears like soup from a cracked bowl. Is there anything left to do but vacuum mother’s old carpets and listen to dad’s drunken apologies?

I offered a glass of water to a woman who was about to drown, but the best of my good intentions came back and bit me like a dog.

It’s best not to get too involved and to lower your expectations.
