Meanwhile, Rick James... - Cake

Dis-empowered, 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

And there’s nothing I can say to you

(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
