Rats in the Hallway Lyrics

RIFF A:
Stop! (bass riff)
Knock knock come in you wanna fight I'm gonna win
I'll take you out in a minute
Step in my flat see what's in it
I live in the land of the welfare state
My flat used to be section eight
Now it's a rat infested cocaine run
My whole world plays like a broken drum
Junkie drunken bum yeah yeah yeah rats in the hallway again
Get up go out go ahead and ride away
Get up sit up your bed today
Kick up rip this place apart
Even when I finish I'm back to the start
I'm out of line on Adeline street
Heat don't keep this crooked beat
4AM no waves breaking
What's left of the PM the AM's taken
Junkie drunken bum yeah yeah yeah rats in the hallway again
Outside my gate my crew's drinking a 40
Asked me if there's still rats in the hallway I said
Some things are like the weather
They never seem to change for the better
This girl came to me said she do me no harm
Rolled up her sleeve showed me tracks on her arm
I said what's your name she said it was Maya
She said Tim I wanna take you higher
Junkie drunken bum yeah yeah yeah rats in the hallway again
SOLO:
/=# of times note is hit
(-hold bend--)
Zombie walking kid on his own no moral
Mr. High leaves the body in comes Mr. Withdrawl
Pain is the only thing the body will allow
The kid wants to dance the gangster knows how
Johnny bought some dope down on Market
Shoot up boot up the human target
Hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene
It's easy to stay dirty nothing's clean
He's a writer tags up Jackyl
Jackyl just clamped unclampable shackles
RIFF B (r/b):
Rout up shoot up it's money it goes like that
Rat tat tat kid got shot point black in the back
My landlord said not to be bumming
He was a cocaine stoop and he had it coming
He had it coming? He's only 12 years old
The kid was in the blizzard got shot for being cold
It don't seem right tonight hit the lights alright
Watch the roaches run into the darkest room
(play over RIFF A):
Junkie drunken bum yeah yeah yeah rats in the hallway again
Junkie drunken bum yeah yeah yeah rats in the hallway again
