I AM A BAT
Words & Music: Ned
Special Arrangements: Steve

lyrics

I am not your master, servant
I am Mister Jones
I haven't got a thing to die for
I'm just another drone

Every time I look at you
I tell you that I am in a rage
I am just another animal living in a cage

I am not your creature feature
Most of the people have the good sense to know
That we're not like that
Stepping through doorways, I'm pulling the lever
Lights going out while they're screaming
I tell them they call me The Bat

I'm watching all the lazy people
Praying to their televisions
When we finally arrive with our suits
We'll tie you up with a five year contract
Of making the grade with your loot

Because I am traveling down a long and lonely road
Nothing but my good friend Toby
It's a big load
We pass the time singing songs of praise
Memories of Seymour
Those were better days

Descending down
We try to escape the atmosphere
Stand in line
Listen with our ears

Suddenly I'm lost
I open up the door
I step out on the porch to see that the April rain has come
And I'm falling
And then I get up
I jump up on the roof
I reach up to the sky to find that I can touch the sun
And I'm falling, falling, falling
