Disenpowered, the scattering flock
dances in a fever at the castle rock
dust-devil cypress and ripening fruit
descending quick into the author's bathroom
fawn, jo and tootsie are out on a wire
lettuce-toothed junkies all full of desire

meanwhile, rick james takes her new
and there's nothing i can do
meanwhile, rick james takes her new
and there's nothing i can do
and there's nothing i can say to you
i've got a lot of work to do
i guess i'll leave it up to you

uninvited, we'll stay if we want
searching through your closets for your grandfather's gun
we will swim in your kidney, kidney-shaped pool
scratching at the bottom for another clue, yeah
fawn, jo and tootsie are out on a wire
lettuce-toothed junkies all full of desire

meanwhile, rick james takes her new
and there's nothing i can do
meanwhile, rick james takes her new
and there's nothing i can do
(meanwhile, rick james takes her new)
and there's nothing i can say to you
(meanwhile, rick james takes her new)

and there's nothing i can do
and there's nothing i can say to you
i've got a lot of work to do
i guess i'll leave it up to you
