The Stranglers Follow

Down in the sewer
Picking up on a lot of empty Coca Cola cans
And there sure are a lot of them around here

How did I get down here?
Well it's a long story
I should have stayed down home, out on the farm
And kept my tootsies warm
Instead of freezing them off down here

There's lots of rats down here
You can see the whites of their eyes
They got sharp teeth
Deep breath and lots of diseases

Lose your sense of light and dark
Lose your sense of smell

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna make love to a water rat or two
And breed a family
And they'll be called the survivors

You know why?
Because they're gonna survive
I'll see you in the sewer darling
(And don't be late)

Down in the sewer
Picking up on a lot of empty Coca Cola cans
And there sure are a lot of them around here
