lyrics

i'm in the air i'm on the ground i slid across the street on my bare feet i'm looking for something i've lost my wallet and some clean socks i'm saying a prayer i'm saying a prayer to make me stay to keep me free to let me go really let me go my friends' souls are glowing thin and grey see-through holes i don't see them much anymore a stare in my face my rat fink face wise old rat brave old rat i'm growing apart just like the tree i'll keep you with me keep your feet warm keep your arch high keep your neck long keep your eyes wide don't miss one flea don't miss one inch don't miss me ever i'm on the ground i'll keep you with me
