Even the rats know the troubles gonna come 

To the edge of the city see the little guys run 

I hear spring is nice in Canada 


Maybe the men up on capitol hill 

Meed a little less Jack and a little more Jill 

You can have my stereo 


Even though the race may never be won 

I can lay like a dandy get heady in the sun 

Take a love song and beautify 


(whoah) 


I hear the words but the meaning gets lost 

It's a game, that depends on who the ball gets tossed 

It's the same ball anyway 


You're tuggin' me know cut me loose or take me on 

You can play, you can pay the piper all night long 

That's some good home cookin' 


even though the race may never be won 

I can lay like a dandy get heady in the sun 

take a love song and beautify 


(whoah)


**alternate line in second verse: 


if you can hear me now 

then you're halfway there 

just a jump from your window 

fly naked through the air

Take a long hard look
