Loneliness, fantasy, vicarious living....

lyrics

The Rat:

V1

I should have known you were definitely bluffing
When you said you’d like to see me
I should have known you were up to something
When you said you’re attracted to me
But Like a fool I ran over to your place
And like a fool I left in disgrace
Like Romeo I sang I’m your biggest fan
And found my mopey face on Instagram

Pre-chorus 1

Oh why do I fall for the stupidest jokes of all
And why do I crave such fabulous people

Chorus

Because I’m Mister Vicarious, just hilarious
beauty leacher
star seeker
good for nothing
lousy rat

V2:

And now I’m home and I’m all alone
It’s just me The Rat and the Cat
We act out dreams from my perfect life
I have repartee with my perfect wife

Pre-chorus

Oh why do I fall for the stupidest jokes of all
And why do I crave such zaniest people

Chorus 2

Because I’m Mister Vicarious, just hilarious
Good for nothing…

Break

Verse 3:

I have movies, books and song galore
Of all my fave stars, celebs and more
I’ve hung my pics from ceiling to floor
So if you’re special, come walk through the door
We’ll have a scintillating chat
Act out your feats with the Rat and the Cat

Pre-chorus 3

Oh why do I fall for the stupidest jokes of all
And why do I crave such fabulous people

Chorus 3

Because I’m Mister Vicarious, just hilarious
Beauty Leacher
Star Seeker
Good for nothing
Lousy rat
