Jarle Bernhoft - Rats & Raccoons lyrics

Last night on the riverbank You said you loved me, said you were mine But just a turn of the tide, and old truths they lie, and where are you now? I can't seem to see you anywhere When is a man gonna know what to do when he is blessed with but a memory of you and hey hey hey Last night by the brewery you had me cornered in Monopoly On fire and skint, got no dough to pay rent, and where are you now I just cannot smell you nowhere I'm bending over backwards just to make ends meet Got no ground under my bare feet and hey hey hey To keep me company in going down like a lead balloon I got houses and hotels amid black cars and shoes All you gents and all you ladies you are out if you can't make it In this race of rats and raccoons In this race of rats and raccoons What you want us all to be? This game of yours is outfreaking me Even the piano is begging please What you want us all to do? We roll the dice and we all make our moves But there ain't no winners and a whole bunch of losers. I haven't got no place to stay but a whole lotta hell to pay Last night in the sewer You had me ditched and I knew it I got the horn and I blew it To keep me company in going down like a lead balloon I got houses and hotels amid black cars and shoes All you gents and all you ladies you are out if you can't make it In this race of rats and raccoons In this race of rats and raccoons
