Lirik
[Verse 1]
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
This message is a song
This misery is gone
Ooh, yes he is
[Verse 2]
I once had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didn't want to know
She wouldn't see the show
[Verse 3]
Oh, what a fright
Couldn't do it right
Oh, what a night
Oh, what a night
[Verse 4]
Mystic demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town
[Verse 5]
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so much
[Verse 6]
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried
[Verse 7]
Ooh, I blew my mind
I had to find
A kind of new way
Of being oh, so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded English fool
[Verse 8]
Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldn't even speak
[Verse 9]
Shaking put a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
[Verse 10]
Now I'm free
And I can see
And I am me
Yes, I am me
[Verse 11]
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
This message is a song
The misery is gone
[Verse 12]
Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
[Verse 13]
Now I'm free
And I can see
That I am me
Yes, I am me
[Verse 14]
Oh, ooh, please stay away, yay
