Rats & Raccoons Lyrics - Ceramik City Chronicles - Jarle Bernhoft

Last night on the riverbank 

You said you loved me, said you were mine 

But just a turn of the tide, and old truths they lie, and where are you now? 

I can't seem to see you anywhere 

When is a man gonna know what to do 

when he is blessed with but a memory of you 

and hey hey hey 

Last night by the brewery 

you had me cornered in Monopoly 

On fire and skint, got no dough to pay rent, and where are you now 

I just cannot smell you nowhere 

I'm bending over backwards just to make ends meet 

Got no ground under my bare feet 

and hey hey hey 

To keep me company 

in going down like a lead balloon 

I got houses and hotels 

amid black cars and shoes 

All you gents and all you ladies 

you are out if you can't make it 

In this race of rats and raccoons 

In this race of rats and raccoons 

What you want us all to be? 

This game of yours is outfreaking me 

Even the piano is begging please 

What you want us all to do? 

We roll the dice and we all make our moves 

But there ain't no winners and a whole bunch of losers. 

I haven't got no place to stay 

but a whole lotta hell to pay 

Last night in the sewer 

You had me ditched and I knew it 

I got the horn and I blew it 

To keep me company 

in going down like a lead balloon 

I got houses and hotels 

amid black cars and shoes 

All you gents and all you ladies 

you are out if you can't make it 

In this race of rats and raccoons 

In this race of rats and raccoons
