The Walkmen – The Rat lyrics
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I know we've been through this before

Can't you hear me
I'm calling out your name
Can't you see me
I'm pounding on your door

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number

Can't you hear me
I'm beating on your wall
Can't you see me
I'm pounding on your door
Can't you hear me
While I'm calling out your name

When I used to go out I would know everyone that I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I'm sure we've been through this before

Can't you hear me
I'm beating on your wall
Can't you see me
I'm pounding on your door
