Flesh Eaters – Life’s A Dirty Rat Lyrics
Artist: Flesh Eaters
Song: Life’s A Dirty Rat
Hey why, oh why me?
Hey why, oh why me?
One night, a goddess
Came down from the mountains
To walk down the streets
Of this asphalt hell
Why did you have to look at me that way?
Why did I find a strand of your hair on my shoulder?
Hey why, oh why me?
When I looked down from the stage
Why did I have to see your face?
When I looked down from the stage
Why did I have to see your face?
Hey why, oh why me?
Hey why, oh why me?
Life’s a dirty rat
He’s got ice in his veins
Life’s a dirty rat
He’s got ice in his veins
Life’s a dirty rat
He’s got ice in his vеins
Hey why, oh why me?
Hey why, oh why mе?
The fight’s been fixed
No body’s been recovered
Every letter I’ve wrote’s gathering dust in your desk drawer
I’m tired of crying about the three ring circus in my backyard
You get up on outta bed to put on your white dress
You’re gonna paint the town black and blue
But when he hears the news
He’s gonna write your last chapter
Because what goes up
Has gotta come down
The kingdom of heaven
The kingdom of heaven
We can’t even walk across the street to enter
In the darkest cave of hell
You were my best friend
In the darkest cave of hell
You were my best friend
In the darkest cave of hell
You were my best friend I ever had
Life’s a dirty rat
He’s got ice in his veins
Life’s a dirty rat
He’s got ice in his veins
Life’s a dirty rat
He’s got ice in his veins
That tattered dress hanging from a rusty nail
Is all you left behind
That door stays open
All the time now
Since that night you were here
When we lay in the dark
When we lay on the couch and talked about confusion
What could you do?
When you don’t know what you want
What will you do?
I believed you with all my heart
That there’d be a knock on my door the very next day
And you’d step through the threshold and set your suitcases down
All your worldly possessions, your only worldly possession
Wants to kiss those lips right now
You give so much, honey and never get anything in return
Hey why, oh why me? Hey why, oh why me?
Hey hey why? Oh why me? Why, oh why me?
He wants to write your last chapter
He wants to write it down
He wants to write your, he wants to write your last chapter
He’s not gonna write it
He’s not gonna write it down
As long as I’m here
As long as I’m around
