[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Fawn, Jo, and Tootsie are out on a wire
Lettuce-toothed junkies all full of desire

[Chorus]
Meanwhile, Rick James takes her n***
And there's nothing I can do
Meanwhile, Rick James takes her n***
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Fawn, Jo, and Tootsie are out on a wire
Lettuce-toothed junkies all full of desire
[Chorus]
Meanwhile, Rick James takes her n***
And there's nothing I can do
Meanwhile, Rick James takes her n***
And there's nothing I can do

[Outro]
(Meanwhile, Rick James takes her n***)
And there's nothing I can say to you
(Meanwhile, Rick James takes her n***) While, while
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
