Little Feat - Marginal Creatures lyrics

The hens came home to roost While i was counting my blessings Staggering on to the truth now Without ever confessing If the joke is on me How come they're laughing at you Don't get any better than this Who's buying tickets to the execution Marginal creatures at best In disaster's frenzied waters Feeding sharks smell the blood What kind of fool asks the victims How do you feel about the flood No season; no reason There's no license, to normalcy's test Your disguise can't hide all the features Of marginal creatures at best Bobby's goin' downtown Wearin' momy's ballgown People in the coffee shop Are freakin' oh yeah Otis can't ignore Gonna nail him to the barn door Gotta make him pay See the error of his ways Sordid stories meant to humble Humiliating tabloid tales Turn the table, start to stumble Bare your claws when all else fails Your all part of the show And everyone knows The tue of live and let live The bleachers are filled with the laughter From marginal creatures at best Bobby's goin' downtown Wearin' momy's ballgown People in the coffee shop Are freakin' oh yeah Gotta get that boy Gonna nail him to a barn door Gotta make him pay See the error of his ways
