Damn Cats/Fuckin' Rats lyrics

This album can be found here.


1. The Spring Drain
Instrumental

2. Caribbean Love/Jungle Beaver
Shit breathin'
Air steamin'
Nobody left on the ground
They picked up the bodies last week
So, if you came to claim one
You can find 'em at the city dump

Oh my Caribbean Queen,
Were you taken by the fiends?

Oh, but the Jungle Beaver told me different.
He said, "You're not gonna find love at the city dump,
where there's too many places to shovel."

3. Blessed to be Free
Got my check and I cashed it
Put the money in a bag and burned it up
In a dumpster round back

So I couldn't pay rent
So I couldn't even eat
So they said, I'd be free
Now I'm behind on every kind of payment
Now I couldn't buy my girl that ring
Guess that'd be alright
I guess that'd be just fine

Cuz at least we're free
At least we're free
No but that's not true
Cuz she left me on my knee
I guess she couldn't see the imaginary ring
Or that imaginary life I had dreamed.

Guess it's back to work
Guess it's back to hell
Grew up to forget?
No I grew up and I knew
Oh I grew up and I knew I'd never be free
Oh, that's just the way...

4. Down in the Apple Bin
Down in the Apple Bin,
Have you ever been?

Down in the Apple Bin
George fell in,
Never gonna get him out again.

Said, George fell in
and we'll never see his face again
Better said once your dead.

Snake slithers up
through the weeds
from hell, he gave you all your needs
like hell, I ain't gonna breathe.

5. Steppin' off the Cross ain't Easy
I got a new one
It's all the same to me
and i watched em bleed
out the eyes of the jacks
and thats when I laughed
In a motha fuckin' ball
on the ground
(that's me)
Bleeding on my knees
I said, "I picked up all those things."

It's not that hard to see
Jimmi came home today
bought me a bucket full of grades
I said thank you I'll hang them up on my tree
immediately
Fo I get back
Jimmi gonna have to crack a skull
And it gonna be Today

And if he's not around then I know
And when he gets home they didn't call it pain
And jimmi held em down but he got away

But Jimmi came home eventually blind
Come back just to get a face
just to get it on

Jimmi came back from the marines gay
Didn't know it was in him, he just told me I'd have to pay
Well when jesus stepped off the cross he had a cain
Solved to help him to walk then i guess he had to pay

When jimmi came home that motha fucka didn't even have a face
he had to get a new one from the doctor
and you know he had to pay
Reconstructive surgery put his face together, made Jimmi look like a saint

6. Be Alone Too
So much time drippin' down my knees
No one believes, No one does see

I can't even dream to save my own
No, I'm like a beast that swallows dreams whole

Creeps in the dark
Left it alone
So possibly, you could be alone too

7. Bleedin' on Your Memories/Slippin' on Your Every Need
Blood!
Life!
Smoke goes in my lungs and out the exit wound.

A New York strip on the ferris wheel
If life were a ride, I guess this'd be the last time.

8. A Man Crawling
Oh, you lost your breath
deep in your thought;
It couldn't have already come out.
So your thinkin' once again -
I mean still - It's never gonna be alright,

But you still sing it out
like you forgot how to speak;
its not that easy while you think.
You gotta go like a carriage on the road
the many places you'll never go

Ridin' away - horse drawn sink
below your feet
theres a man crawlin out
his eyes are like mine but they cant decide
who's really alive?

Deep in your thought
its entered in your deep freeze
Yeah locked in the locker now
you gotta find a key
and any which one will do.
It's just how much time they give you.

9. Doin' Business in a Black Suit   
Bury 'em Deep,
So he couldn't sing.
At least so I couldn't hear a thing.
Take his grave and cover it in dirt.
Take his grave and drown 'em in the dirt.

Timmi came home today...
Timmi gone, Timmi don't, The Tim bone
But it's too late now,
He's underneath your feet
Where you stompin'
What you been lookin' to do.
...
Well I took his body and I chopped it up fine
Can't let his parents know,
I don't wanna see them cry.

No need for that,
I seen it before
When I took my baseball bat to their dog.
Shouldn't been poopin' in my lawn.
That dog -had it comin'.
Shoulda had 'em on a leash.
That kid wasn't any better.
Drivin' his car late at night:

Took the muffler off so it'd sound like a scooter-mobile,
I mean like a hearse rollin' through the dirt.
He's rollin' through the dirt.
No ones left but his grandma now.
Took his momma and daddy out back.
They didn't know how to raise that boy so I taught 'em how.
Chop 'em up in tiny pieces and bury 'em underneath your feet.
They couldn't take it so I had to make 'em join 'em.

10. Sighing on the Sidewalk
Here he comes now,
Your new boyfriend.
Walkin' down the street,
I just happened to pass him.
Well, I slipped out my pocket knife
and I slit his left wrist.

Oh baby,
It don't hafta be like this
We could of built a home,
Me and you alone.

Here he comes now,
Just a-skippin' down the street,
Walkin' over me.
You're holdin' hands.

11. Visitin' Uncle Lou
Improvised

12. Rain Stains on you Notebook
Instrumental
