Lifter Puller
The Langelos
Street rats hanging out with the house catsI came from the dust bowlAnd I was working for an orange groveAnd all I got was a bloody noseI came for the sceneryAnd I woke up in the shrubberyI think I hit another pharmacyI've been through liquor stores and jewelry storesBanks, tanks and music scoresI've had busted scores, open soresAnd morning whores yourself to the night before Can't you tell that these helicopters haunt meHouse cats making moves on the street ratsAnd every single motel room is shadyStreet rats making out with the house catsSending those boys up to the Hollywood hillsI said take what's yoursEnergy is courtesy of pharmacy pillsYou know it feels so pureAnd when we touch you know it seemsLike we're one big machinePicking up speedSomewhere in the valleySongtexteBring it to the cityWalked real fast down the boulevardTourists taking pictures of the sidewalk starsAnd all those pretty boys with the sideways scarsAll stood at attentionNever asked to be king of these ratsThis position it just kind of fell in my lapAnd they were back to backAnd I was back to backHouse cats making love to the street rats.
