King Rat Meaning

[[Intro]
(Ha-ha-ha, I know, I love this shit)
Well!
Well!
Well!
(Oy, you’re a fuckin’ punk, ha-ha)
Well…

[Verse 1]
We spun like birds on fire right
Down towards the residents, and I
I took all that I desired
Even crooks have to pay the rent
A-we swam like rats on fire right
Right down the reservoir
We took all that we could carry, but we
Tried to carry more

[Chorus]
And you know, and you know, you know it all went wrong
And you know, and you know, you know it was all wrong

[Riff]
Ahh, da-da-dee-da-ah, a-da-da-da-ah
Da-da-dee-da-dah, way, a-da-da-da-da-ah
, [Verse 2]
We choked on straight tap water, well
I’m going to have to try the real thing, ah
I took your laugh by the collar
And it knew not to swing
Any time I tried an honest job, well
The till had a hole in it, ha-ha
We laughed ’bout payin’ rent
‘Cause the county jails, they’re free

[Chorus]
And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong
And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong
Ohh!

[Riff]
Ada-dada-dada-dada-da-eh
Lada-dada-dada-da-eh, a-da
Dada-dada-dada-dada-da-say
Ada-dada-dada-dada-da, ahh
I knew, I mean, knew you’d seen, oh, ah-da
Dada-dada-dada-dada-da-eh-eh
Adada-dada-da-eh, ow!

[Refrain]
Deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll, rage of a child
Well, deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll, rage of a child
, [Bridge]
Oh, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again
I said, it looks like it’s time to use my feet again
Well, I just spent my last one hundred dollars
Gotta pay my bail again, no, no, that’s
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, I don’t care
Huh, huh, huh, huh, hah, hah, I just don’t care

[Refrain]
Deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll kicked by child
Deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I went down like a bird dog race had made tired, well

[Bridge]
King Rat has me on his list again
And can never be on the fence again, well I
Found out his soul, well, it opened like an organ
And he talk, talk, talk, talk again, well
Honest, even when I cheated them, but I could
I owed them my heart, well
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky
Lucky, lucky me again

[Refrain]
Deep water, deep water, deep, senseless denial
I got fed like a fist full of open smiles, ah, well
Dew water, deep water, oh, senseless denial
I got fed a fist by that con fuck “Styles”
, [Bridge]
I said, well, well
What do you have to say for yourself?
I said well, well, well
I said well, well, well, well, well

[Outro]
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again
I hardly knew I should use my feet again
(What do you have to say for yourself?
What do you have to say for yourself?)]
