Walter
The Rat
Walter and his rats hanging down on the Rio Wall .
They aren’t worried about much .
There’s not a long way for them to fall .
Buying beer for the teens , selling weed and some cocaine .
There’s a burned out restaurant in case it decides to rain .
Hey it’s a rough life just working on your tan .
It’s pretty simple just keep some gas in the van .
Maybe steal a tape deck ... the tourist didn’t lock the car .
He knows every girl at the Seabreeze ... never drops a penny at the bar .
Pickled eggs and pigs feet mixed with whiskey neat.
It’s a good gig as long as he stays discrete .
He’s a legend and a loser a coked out boozer .
Looks like Jesus in the eyes .
If you believe that you’re in for a surprise .
All the Cops and good kids know ... There’s a class of stoner who follows where he goes .
No one knows where he came from .... He was just there one day .
Dirty Levi’s Cords and faded flannel shirts .
Everything is bleached but that can’t hide the dirt .
He kind of looks like Charles when the Coke shows in his eyes .
It’s kind of scary , he makes a lot of teeny girls sigh .
He looks to be thirty but no one knows .
The sun beats down and you just can’t tell .
One day it’s gonna catch up still he won’t tell .
He’s the mysterious man from hell .
