The Rat - Sean Nicholas Savage

Woke up to a rainy breath

Echoing off my wall

And I knew I wasn’t alone

A knock came running down the hall

Ooo the rats in town

I smell her coming

Ya she’s always on my mind

Come up behind me with her pearly eyes of death

She put her hands around my neck in total silence

Footsteps over my shoulder

And everybody says it’s nice

When the rats come 'round

They know I love 'em

They can get it while it’s fresh

Come to the show you’ll know exactly who I am

When the future comes

Is that a poem?

Are you a poet?

Thought you were mumbling that shit I should’ve known it

Ya the rats in town

I smell you coming

'Cos you’re always on my mind

Your greasy grip scratching at every move I make

Go on babe

Take it away
