Meanwhile, Rick James...
Meanwhile, Rick James ...
disempowered, the scattering flock
dances in a fever at the castle rock
dust-devil cypress and ripening fruit
ascending quick into the author's bathroom
Fawn, Jo and Tootsie are out on a wire
lettuce-toothed junkies all full of desire
meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude
and there's nothing I can do
meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude
and there's nothing I can do
and there's nothing I can say to you
I've got a lot of work to do
I guess I'll leave it up to you
uninvited, we'll stay if we want
searching through your closets for your grandfather's 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 nude
and there's nothing I can do
meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude
and there's nothing I can do
(meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude)
and there's nothing I can say to you
(meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude)
and there's nothing I can do
and there's nothing I can say to you
I've got a lot of work to do
I guess I'll leave it up to you
We recommend: Mollys Libs
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
I like you the way you are
When we're driving in your car
And you're talking to me one on one.
But you become
Somebody else, 'round everyone else.
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're try'n' to be cool,
You look like a fool to me.
Tell me
(chorus)
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
See, the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated.
Life's like this, you,
