about

Dana Fuchs sent me these lyrics which she wrote with Kevin Mackall. She recorded it on her cd, Bliss Avenue and about half way through recording this cd, I thought it would be cool to do this song. The lyrics are pretty wacky, but they sound great.

lyrics

There’s Rodents in the Attic, trouble with my brain
Sugar in my blood, poison in my veins
Past is always present, the dead are all to blame
I got rodents in the attic, calling out my name

There’s rodents in the attic trouble with my brain
I got a semi automatic and a liver in my pain
Tiny claw keeps scratching, driving me insane
I got a bucket by the nightstand to catch the leaky rain

Got a shiver in my spine, a mattress on my stain
Nightmares never come but I wake up dead again
There’s mayhem in landing at the top of my stares
And my mind is splitting from the ends of my hairs

There’s rodents in the attic trouble with my brain
I got a semi automatic and a liver in my pain
Tiny claw keeps scratching, driving me insane
I got a bucket by the nightstand to catch the leaky rain

Got a bucket full of dirt, a mouthful of butane
Pickled egg survival and heaping side of shame

There’s Rodents in the Attic, trouble with my brain
Sugar in my blood, poison in my veins
Past is always present, the dead are all to blame
I got rodents in the attic, calling out my name

There’s rodents in the attic trouble with my brain
I got a semi automatic and a liver in my pain
Tiny claw keeps scratching, driving me insane
I got a bucket by the nightstand to catch the leaky rain
