"Meanwhile, Rick James" lyrics - CAKE

CAKE
"Meanwhile, Rick James"

[Verse 1 - Cake]
Dis-empowered, the scattering flock
Dances in a fever at the Castle Rock
Dust-devil cypress and ripening fruit
Ascending quick into the author's bathroom

[Pre-Chorus - Cake]
Fawn, Jo and Tootsie are out on a wire
Lettuce-toothed junkies all full of desire

[Chorus - Cake]
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

[Verse 2 - Cake]
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

[Pre-Chorus - Cake]
Fawn, Jo and Tootsie are out on a wire
Lettuce-toothed junkies all full of desire

[Chorus - Cake]
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

[Outro - Cake]
(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
