Rat

Not too smart, just out of school A teacher′s pet and modern fool Talked about bein' freelance broker But the police caught him tryin′ to choke her Can't describe him in his corner, no, no Like a rat out of the water, uh-um Out of work and out of grass Mother Mary never seems to stop to talk She just walk on past Down, down, no information One day, always away And why, why can't I see you? One day, always away And why, why can′t I be you? One day, always away He′s out of school now, just another taken barstool And this neighborhood ain't what he had in mind, no, no Wants to be your girlfriend, wants to be your boyfriend Wants to be your telephone, wants, wants to be your man And why, why can′t I see you? One day, always away Why, why can't I be you? One day, always away One day, always away One day, always away One day, always away Down, down, no information
