First time I've seen Wainscoting in a lyric - this could be about Boris J; excellent use of our furry friends as the meatphor

love this,  great lyrics, splendiferous idea for a song.

Incredible songwriting. I wouldn’t say it draws the listener in, rather it grabs the listener by the throat! Brilliant work. 

Very unique vocal delivery and great arrangement. Im a getting a bit of Roger Waters influence. Great work

Sparks! Not a copy at all but some of that cool quirkiness 😸

Seems like you cant get more ironic or learn about you guys than by reading your explanation about why you couldnt write it.  Im still cracking up.  Reminds me of early floyd or zappa when he still had the mothers.... and ready to be a musical

@plastic-flower: Thank you so much! That's really a great compliment and we will surely take it. Music ought to do more than we allow it to. :)

She said the police sketch didn't quite look like him. She said he looked like Ben Gazzara.

“Vengeance of the Rat King”

Tragedy when party’s over
All your friends are short long-goners
Memories of camaraderie have flip-flopped, turned and now are soured
Like the hope that once did dope you
Some half-baked, du jour worldview
That was your highbrow breakthrough
—With inside jokes and ego strokes and grandiose retorts

The party’s over
Nothing to see here
Just a stopover . . . to the future!

What’s that scurrying in the wainscoting?
Must be the Rat King!
Who’s that wheeling on a head of cheese?
That must be him!
The one to incite all the mice
The one to knight the pawns
The one whose bite has a devastating price
The one whose nails are always drawn
—And he has come for you, dear!

Who’s that handing out the rotted cheese?
Of course it’s the Rat King!
Who’s that riling up the young mice-ees?
(That’s him, too!)
He’s got no scruples ‘bout beguiling young dupils 
He’s got a flexible spine
He’s got no thought but to choke you with his garrote
He’s got a steely twine
—And he has come for you, dear!

The carpet of mice ripples as they wriggle
Erecting with their bodies a pelt dais
Shocked, you scramble up upon your table
To hear the raised Rat King launch his dispraise
His topic is the failings of your being
His words hurt, but there shall be no appealing
For now the mice are on the dash for vengeance
As one the mischief rises like a god’s hand
And strikes with bites of wrath which is your sentence
As with your tongue are you gagged
And then they scurry sated back to their holes
Back to their holes

Tragedy when party’s over
All your friends are short long-goners
Memories of wrathful feasts that never ceased have now turned bitter
Like the joke that now has laughed you
From the clique-clack of the who’s who
To the oblivion of your fall-through
Shamed and shunned and smeared and jeered and devoured full alive
