Meanwhile, Rick James... Lyrics

Cake

Ddisenpowered
The scattering flock
Dances in a fever
At the castle rock
Dust-devil cypress
And ripening fruit
Descending quick
Into the authors bathroom
Fawn, jo and tootsie
Are out on a wire
Lettuce-toothed junkies
All full of desire
Meanwhile, rick james takes her new
And theres nothing I can do
Meanwhile, rick james takes her new
And theres nothing I can do
And theres nothing I can say to you
Ive got a lot of work to do
I guess Ill leave it up to you
Uninvited
Well stay if we want
Searching through your closets
For your grandfathers gun
We will swim in your kidney
Kidney-shaped pool
Scratching at the bottom
For another clue, yeah
Fawn, jo and tootsie
Are out on a wire
Lettuce-toothed junkies
All full of desire
Meanwhile, rick james takes her new
And theres nothing I can do
Meanwhile, rick james takes her new
And theres nothing I can do
(meanwhile, rick james takes her new)
And theres nothing I can say to you
(meanwhile, rick james takes her new)
And theres nothing I can do
And theres nothing I can say to you
Ive got a lot of work to do
I guess Ill leave it up to you
