Cat And Mouse - Manilla Road

The rats are in the cellar

The mice are in the cage

The cat is in the toilet

And the dog’s got the mange

The up is now the down

The front is now the back

We’ve got it all so turned around

That I can’t keep track

That’s the way the story goes

They say it’s all so clear

What is real nobody knows

They have all drowned in fear

They’re drowning

The lions are roaring

The wolves they howl

The old men are snoring

And the cops they just cop out

Our diamonds are rusty

Our gold is no good

Our minds are so dusty

Nothings understood

That’s the way the story goes

They say it’s all so clear

What is real nobody knows

We have all drowned in fear

Ah damn it I’m drowning

The rats are in the cellar

The mice are in the cage

The cat is in the toilet

And my fucking dog he’s got the mange

The up is now the down

The front is now the back

We’ve got it all so turned around

That I can’t keep track

It’s a cat and mouse
