[Intro]
Ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba, ba
[Refrain]
Rudy gon' smell that shit
In your clothes (oh)
Rudy gon' tell you just
What you know
Rudy gon' smell that shit
In your clothes
Rudy gon' tell you just
What you know (oh)
[Verse 1]
On the night that Rudy was born
Was a great thunderstorm and
Mama knew that Rudy was
Not like the other boys
[Chorus]
Rudy said "I don't know" " -but you never did" and he kissed him
Rudy said "I won't be there" " -but you never were" and she missed him for it
Rudy said "what do you want that nobody else has thought about"
Rudy said "I want it now but
I don't know how to say it
Anyway I thought it was..."
Please just once look at it
From the ground up
It's not what you thought
And it's awfully fucked up
Please just once look at it
From the ground up
It's not what you thought
And it's awfully fucked up
[Bridge]
Ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba, ba
[Refrain]
Rudy gon' smell that shit
In your clothes
And Rudy gon' tell you just
What you know
Yeah Rudy gon' smell that shit
In your clothes
Rudy gon' tell you just
What you know (oh)
[Verse 2]
So Rudy looked out the door
Before he ran, spent a moment there
Rudy took what he had
Sighed a prayer, made his way downstairs
Rudy thought what did I do
That nobody else ain't sad about
Rudy said "I want it now but I don't know how to say it any way
I thought it was alright"
[Chorus]
Please just once look at it
From the ground up
It's not what you thought
And it's awfully fucked up
Please just once look at it
From the ground up
It's not what you thought
And it's awfully fucked up
[Outro]
This is the story (ba, ba, ba) of a boy named Rudy (ba, ba, ba)
He was only lucky once (ba, ba, ba) but that was enough (ba, ba, ba)
He left home (ba, ba, ba)
Rudy was written by Rostam.
Rudy was produced by Rostam.
From NPR: “I had a feeling this song needed to be on the album, but for whatever reason I didn’t listen to that instinct until the 11th hour. When I decided to finish it for the record, the rest of the album had already been mastered — that’s how late in the game it reappeared. But it wasn’t a hard...
