DAMIEN RICE LYRICS - The Rat Within The Grain

"The Rat Within The Grain"



This would not have happened

If I hadn't missed my plane

I've would have been there when they told you

I'm the Rat within the grain



Within this big misunderstanding now

I'm being misunderstood

I think'in someones trying to fuck with me

And set fire to my wood



I wouldn't want you to want

To be wanted by me

I wouldn't want you to worry

You'd be drowned within my sea

I only wanted to be wonderful

And wonderful is true

In truth I only really wanted

To be wanted by you



It's a stupid situation now

Where everything goes wrong

If you can't tell if I am lying

Then you do not belong



In my bed

Go rest your head

Upon the bones of a bigger man

He can cover you with rock wool

And you can close up like a clam



I wouldn't want you to want

To be wanted by me

I wouldn't want you to worry

You'd be drowned within my sea



I only wanted to be wonderful

And wonderful is true

In truth I only really wanted

To be wanted by you



So go play with your piano

Write a mediocre song

Out the shell of mediocrity

And pretend there's nothing wrong



I never thought you where a chicken shit

I never thought of you at all

Until you asked me to be part of it

Now you're showing me your wall



I wouldn't want you to want

To be wanted by me

I wouldn't want you to worry

You'd be drowned within my sea



I only wanted to be wonderful

And wonderful is true

In truth I only really wanted

To be wanted by you



La la la la ……………



In truth I only really wanted

To be wanted by you
