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
