Bobby and the Rat-Kings

I'm an elevator kid pushing buttons when I wanna go home But my generation hasn't even got a name of its own We just buy what the TV sells And almost never stop wishing we were somebody else But tonight in the dark I can be myself When Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play We'll make 'em stay We'll make 'em play I'll play till the stars all fade We'll make 'em stay till dawn Make 'em play all night till the light Like we've never seen nothin' Like we'll we'll never see anybody ever again When the Rat-Kings go away We'll never be the same Z tried to edit Reddit instead it said it had eaten her phone She goes from Tinder to cinder Till she remembers she's a flame of her own You can almost lose your heart Hoping for something better till it tears you apart While the days get longer and this night won't start But when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play We'll make 'em stay We'll make 'em play I'll play till the stars all fade We'll make 'em stay till dawn Make 'em play all night till the light Like we've never seen nothin' Like we'll we'll never see anybody ever again When the Rat-Kings go away We'll never be the same, again Ooh, again Now Joey's gotta run for the train Says he's trying to make it Back to the City by ten And Mike's on his bike with the motor running I told him trains were running all night right then In the moonlit town after the bridge fell down There were fires and we lost some power So we all dressed up for the ramble And ran those streets long past the witching hour I saw Dorothy in drag Taking the Tin Man for a ride And then Z the Cat said she knew where to go Then she kissed me without a thought Said "Sometimes memories are all that we got" "So come on boy, let's make some at the show" So there's some leather-wrapped Fender-strapped kid With a pick-finger twitch He's got a recipe for radio or rain I don't know which In the shadows when the lights are dowsed The cinder kids flare while they twist and shout We're the sparks in the dark That'll never go out So when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play We'll make 'em stay We'll make 'em play Play till the stars all fade We'll make 'em stay till dawn Make 'em play all night till the light Like we've never seen nothin' Like we'll we'll never see anybody ever again When the Rat-Kings go away We'll never be the same again So say hey when the Rat-Kings When the Rat-Kings When the Rat-Kings go away Say hey when the Rat-Kings When the Rat-Kings When the Rat-Kings go away Say, when the Rat-Kings go (When the Rat-Kings go) When they go away Say hey when the Rat-Kings go away We'll never be the same, again Again Again Ooh, again Again
