Lyrics
A 15th body has been found in the Rainey street area in Austin after 2 years of mysterious deaths
Police have confirmed a sighting of the so called Rainey street ripper
I wanna be high caliber in the Hamptons
Chillin with the uppity dogs and getting pampered
But I’m here, it’s not really that weird
At least not before me it was worth ignoring
Stuck in Austin for years gets boring
We need some excitement to wake up all the snoring
So hello hello hello you’re getting roofied
Now you don’t know if it’s a Saturday or tuesday
Every time I strike, it’s another news day
Police never listen to whatever you say
So its not a crime to have a good time
Mix my tequila, soda water with a little lime, that’s right
I got bartenders in on it complicit
They let me hang around solicit my victims
We get em tipsy, make em wanna kiss me
Take em to the lake and I strip em, make em get in with me
So if you see me on Rainey, I’m your frenemy
If you came for a good time, you need to get with me
I’m always here, every weekend you can’t get rid of me
Its history… the Rainey street ripper
Gonna getcha, gonna getcha
I’m coming for you
Gonna getcha, gonna getcha
hee hee hee hee hee
They’re saying no one’s safe on Rainey street
Who is the Rainey street ripper ?
See you’ll never stop me, people think of me fondly
Bars and DJs get together with me, throw a party
I go by so many different names, hidden in plain sight
Extensive stays with expensive drinks
Don’t be afraid to spend your whole week’s pay, it’s ok
Going broke, slowly celebrate so many birthdays
Intoxicated is my favorite way to have you
Its hypnotic, gin and tonic, get lost in it, irresponsible
I dont do much in august when its hotter
I’d rather wait til October when its autumn
Everyone here is so friendly, so calm
You can chill with McConaughey, hey this is Austin, awesome
I used to think I was the one
The world let me know that I was wrong
So now I’m the shot that rings out in the night
Now I’m the reason for a lot of petty fights okay
I’m for the jaded the people looking for a way out of their situations
Oh you wanna be famous?
Another name in the headlines, blame it on fate
They call me the Rainey street ripper, I’m your favorite mistake, let’s go
Everyone is so friendly, so calm
You can chill with McConaughey, hey this is Austin
(Watch out for the Rainey Street Ripper)
