Testo Rats in the sky King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Rats in the sky

I'd rather be amongst the clouds
Elevated, elevated in the sky
Don't care too much, yeah, for the ground
Elevated, elevated rats in the sky

Liquid gurgling coos (Coo)
My neck is bobbling like a bobble head from a high-rise city view apartment
Rainbow oil pile, greasy sheen
Never been wild, never been that tame
Internal compass paves the way

I'd rather be amongst the clouds
Elevated, elevated in the sky
Don't care too much, yeah, for the ground
Elevated rats in the sky

I'm so goddamn filthy (Filthy)
Am I a pet or is this man trying to kill me? (Kill me)
Take my little hood off and set me free (Ba da da)
So I can join the other feathered rats at the bar (Ba da da)
There's the garbage man with a scar on his heart (Ba da da)
Primordial reasons got me thinking that we're not so far apart

Not so far
Filth rats in the sky
Not so far apart
Sky borne rats don't lie

I'm making a detour by the pub to eat a little lunch and take a load off
The garbage man knows we're a symbiotic duo
Look out for the cat named Bruno

Bread crusts are my banquet
Puddles are my wine
I revel in the present
Each moment, a lifetime
I need only flap my wings and I'm where I want to be
This cruel city that I love
My crumb kingdom
Doesn't Planet Earth look good from this perch?
Rats in the sky
Eat, fly, survive (Woo!)

Their mind is miles from their bodies
Forgot the joy of simply being
They miss the magic of the mundane
The way raindrops race down windowpanes
Always hurrying, never arriving
Nothing truly dangerous, nothing surprising
Liberated by wings, unburdened by worry
Forget the destination but enjoyed the journey (Woo)

Scooby doo wop, doo wop
Scooby doo wop, doo wop
Scooby doo wop, doo wop
Scooby doo wop, doo wop
Jokes on you
(Scooby doo wop, doo wop)
You stupid men
(Scooby doo wop, doo wop)
I just went to the costume shop and bought myself some wings
(Scooby doo wop, doo wop)
I'm a rat
