Lyrics

(Don't know what I'm doing)

Why don't you go home and crawl into your hole
Why don't you go home and spend some time alone

In the corner I looked across the room
To the other corner, I knew I'd be there soon

Caged rat (×12)

In the corner (×3) I looked across the room
I knew I'd be there soon, in the (other) corner

Caged rat (×12)

(Awoooooooooo x4)

Why don't you go home and crawl into your hole
Why don't you go home and spend some time alone

From the corner I looked across the room
To the other corner, I knew I'd be there soon

Caged rat (×12)

(Awoooooooooo ×8)
