about

The duality of Rat’s life - ramp rat by day, noise star by night - is celebrated, with a little help from Mr Robert Pollard himself.

lyrics

Pollard: All that stress from flying
Takes its toll on the design, you know
You've got to take a close look at the wing
Rat: And falling off the cargo hold
My head facing the sky, you know
The tarmac hit my head and made it sing

Pollard: On the ramp it's just a long parade
The planes just come and go
Once you get behind the counter
You can see through people's soul...

Rat: While you take your kids to soccer
And the bills begin to pile
I'll be halfway to Japan
To hear the Voices live
Pollard: While you are watching Idol
And eating corporate tripe
Rat: I'll be dancing in Japan
With Robert Pollards wife

Pollard: All those iffy landings
Take their toll on those big tires, you know
You've got to keep inspecting for a flaw
Rat: And every day, security
Pretends that they don't know me
They shrug and tell me, "Frank, it's just the law."

Pollard: On the ramp it's just a long parade
The planes just come and go
Once you get inside the baggage
You can see through people's soul...

Rat: While you take your kids to soccer
And the bills begin to pile
I'll be halfway to Japan
To hear the Voices live
Pollard: While you are watching Idol
And eating corporate tripe
Rat: I'll be dancing in Japan
Pollard: He’ll be dancing in Japan
Rat: I'll be dancing in Japan
With Robert Pollards wife!
