Rat

Not too smart, just out of school
 A teacher's pet and modern fool
 Talked about bein' freelance broker
 But the police caught him tryin' to choke her
 ♪
 Can't describe him in his corner, no, no
 Like a rat out of the water, uh-um
 Out of work and out of grass
 Mother Mary never seems to stop to talk
 She just walk on past
 Down, down, no information
 One day, always away
 And why, why can't I see you?
 One day, always away
 And why, why can't I be you?
 One day, always away
 ♪
 He's out of school now, just another taken barstool
 And this neighborhood ain't what he had in mind, no, no
 Wants to be your girlfriend, wants to be your boyfriend
 Wants to be your telephone, wants, wants to be your man
 And why, why can't I see you?
 One day, always away
 Why, why can't I be you?
 One day, always away
 One day, always away
 One day, always away
 One day, always away
