Verse 1:

I can’t smell a rat when it’s all rat

I can’t find one in an elevator

My mind doesn’t work so bad

But I am a poor exterminator, that’s right





I can’t destroy entirely

Or annihilate a little later

I can’t see the entire city

But I’m not a bad exterminator


Chorus:
                  
I’m just a shade shy of true wickedness
                            
I’m a shade shy of truly loving it, yeah
                                         
There are other things I’d rather be doing
       
Even nothing
     
Even nothing
     
Even nothing with you





Verse 2:

One day I’ll make some honest rock n roll

Full of handclaps and gang vocals

I’m gonna get all the children involved

We’re gonna get lost on all you locals


Chorus:
                  
We’ll be a shade shy of true wickedness
                                 
We’ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah
                                                
There are other things we’ll rather be doing, sure
       
Even nothing
     
Even nothing
     
Even nothing with you


Bridge:

We’ll load out through the snow through 

Small groups of people smoking

Hey, get that kick drum loaded
                        
Into the backseat folded down

We’ll go virtually unnoticed
                                         
What’s gripping the city ain’t hitting the town





Chorus:
                  
We’ll be a shade shy of true wickedness
                                 
We’ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah
                                          
There are other things that we’ll surely miss


Bridge:

We’ll load out through the snow through 

Small groups of people smoking

Hey, get that kick drum loaded
                        
Into the backseat folded down

We’ll go perfectly unnoticed
                                         
What’s gripping the city ain’t hitting the town
