Rat Race Lyrics by Raine Maida

The Hunters Lullaby

0

One two, picking up the pace
Three four, rat is in the race
I'm on the lamb
I'm on the chase
I'm on the hunt
I've got no time to waste
One clue
Gotta take the bait
Burst through
All the barricades
It's got teeth
It's got fangs
It's got me in the palm of its hands
It said I want you
I said I want you
Do you know what I mean?
Ah, Do you know what I mean?
My eyes are hollow
My bones
Begging for sleep
I won't make it through tomorrow
I'm useless with these wooden wings
This love, gotta break it down
Chew it up
Spit it out
I don't know where it could be
I don't know how it found me
Arms wide
Crucified, crucifix
Jesus ain't coming for me
I threw away my church key
My eyes are hollow
My bones
Begging for sleep
I won't make it through tomorrow
I'm useless with these wooden wings
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la
I'll ride away
On a cloud made out of hopeless treasure
I'll smile and wave
At his golden gates
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la
