I'd rather be amongst the clouds
Elevated, elevated in the sky
Don't care too much, yeah, for the ground
Elevated, rats in the sky

Liquid gurgling coos
My neck is bobbling like a bobble head
From a high rise city view apartment
Rainbow oil pile greasy sheen
Never been wild, never been that tame
Internal compass paves the way

I'd rather be amongst the clouds
Elevated, elevated in the sky
Don't care too much, yeah, for the ground
Elevated, rats in the sky

I'm so goddamn filthy (filthy)
Am I a pet or is this man trying to kill me? (Kill me)
Take my little hood off and set me free
So I can join the other feathered rats at the bar
There's the garbage man with a scar on his heart
Primordial reasons got me thinking that we're not so far apart

Not so far
Filth rats in the sky
Not so far apart
Sky borne rats don't lie
I'm making a detour by the pub
To eat a little lunch and take a load off
The garbage man knows we're a symbiotic duo
Look out for the cat named Bruno

Crusts are my banquet
And puddles are my wine
I revel in the present
Each moment, a lifetime

I need only flap my wings
And I'm where I wanna be
This cruel city that I love
My crumb kingdom
Doesn't planet earth look good from this perch?
Rats in the sky
Eat, fly, survive (woo)

Well, their mind is miles from their bodies
Forgot the joy of simply being
They miss the magic of the mundane
The way raindrops race down windowpanes
Always hurrying, never arriving
Nothing truly dangerous, nothing surprising
Liberated by wings, unburdened by worry
Forgot the destination but enjoyed the journey (woo)

Scooby doo wop, doo wop
Scooby doo wop, doo wop
Scooby doo wop, doo wop
Scooby doo wop, doo wop

Jokes on you (scooby doo wop, doo wop)
You stupid men (scooby doo wop, doo wop)
I just went to the costume shop (scooby doo wop, doo wop)
And bought myself some wings, I'm a-
