Well i dont know but ive been told
hes baking cakes inside our souls
stayed awake, took a nap
got myself my bottles back
im breaking down out on the street
walkin round my own bare feet
i do not need you to tell me
that im not a cat
i caught a rat, we caught some air
hes never gonna cut his hair
he takes more time to make a fake
we now swim down in the lake
and wash the dirt off our intentions
paddle on with our bad inventions
i came as ice, i came as a whore

i came as advice that came too sure
i came as gold, i came as crap
i came too clean, and i came as a rat
it takes a long time, but god dies too
but not before hell stick it too you
i dont know but ive been told
youll never die and you never grow old
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 a surprise
it takes a long time, but god dies too
but not before hell stick it too you
i dont know but ive been told
youll never die and you never grow old
