 "I Came As A Rat" lyrics

 By Modest Mouse

 Off of 'Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks'
 (Also on 'Moon & Antarctica' and 'Baron Von
 Bullshit Rides Again', but whatever.)

 Er, in case you were wondering where I got
 the baffling phrase "came as ice" from: behold.

 I dub this The Unofficial Ishida Family Song. It's
 the ambience more than anything else. I can
 picture Uryuu as a fan, can't you?

 Well I ain't sure, but I been told
 He's baking cakes inside our souls
 Stayed awake, took a nap
 Got myself my bottles back
 I'm breakin' them out on the street
 Walkin' around in my bare feet
 I do not need you to tell me that I am not a cat
 I caught a ride, we caught some air
 He's never gonna cut his hair
 It takes more time to make a fake
 We night swam down in the lake
 And washed the dirt off our intentions
 Prattle on 'bout bad inventions

 I came as ice, I came as a whore
 I came as advice that came too short
 I came as gold, I came as crap
 I came clean and I came as a rat
 It takes a long time, but God dies too
 But not before he'll stick it to you

 Well I don't know, but I been told
 You'll never die and you'll never grow old
 (Uh oh!)

 I came as a call, I came as flat
 I came too soon so I came back
 I came as flowers, I came as nice
 I came as dirt and I came as its price
 It takes a long time, but God dies too
 But not before he'll stick it to you

 I don't know, but I been told
 You'll never die and you'll never grow old
 (Uh oh!)
