Meanwhile, Rick James ...

disempowered, the scattering flock

dances in a fever at the castle rock

dust-devil cypress and ripening fruit

ascending 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 nude

and there's nothing I can do

meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude

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 nude

and there's nothing I can do

meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude

and there's nothing I can do

(meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude)

and there's nothing I can say to you

(meanwhile, Rick James takes her nude)

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
