lyrics

don't take your cue from the woodrat
if you don't like the view from the weeds
he's a thief and a cheat and he's good at that
woodrat

a laboratory explosion blew my hard lot in the air
i felt around for my walking stick to find it wasn't there
so in the early evening i went weaving around in despair
until a rat in an old oak tree sat me down and whispered in my ear, and i swear, he said...

i am a ghost in your miracle toast
i am a martyr in your hoover dam
i'm at the top of your hill now, honey, come and take my holy hand

"is this whole thing on wheels?" they asked with a prudent trace of fear
"i got a screaming deal," i replied, pretending not to hear
they boarded two by two, i was excited to finally steer
i felt a claw on my shoulder, then saw his black eyes in my rear-view mirror. and i swear, he said

i am the ghost... i got your fountain of youth now come and dig my little plan

a flash of light and the whole thing broke like the old dead oak aforementioned
i chipped a tooth but felt the truth regally shooting through my tangled hiding veins
and now i believe you, i believe you...
if i ever kick the pipe, i'm gonna pray most every night, i'm gonna lead myself to light because

i am a ghost, blah, blah...
