Shutters are all down

Empty paint cans scattered on the ground

Every shopfront reads another warning

But the lost heed not and the drums don't stop

And the din grows like a storm cloud on the wind

No prophets left to purge our sins

No lights in the sky to follow

Blind and hollow idols falter

Senses watered down

And feet fixed to the ground

Like giants falling down

Now the rats are jumping ship

Now the rats are jumping ship

Now the rats are jumping

Oh, we're headed for a fall

But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)

Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)

Eyes are wide open

Lies have been spoken

Beasts have awoken

Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump!)

Stitches come undone

Rescue parties spoiling all the fun

Searching for a way out where there is none

Just time to bide and occupy

So might as well just sit and watch the fires

Take whatever you desire

It's not worth what you once thought

Paid and bought with paper dreams

Not worth their weight in gold

And the rapture now unfolds (rapture now unfolds)

It's something to behold (something to behold)

Now the rats are jumping ship (rats are jumping ship)

Now the rats are jumping ship (rats are jumping ship!)

Now the rats are jumping

Oh, we're headed for a fall

But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)

Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)

Eyes are wide open

Lies have been spoken

Beasts have awoken

Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump!)

Oh, we're headed for a fall

But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)

Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)

Eyes are wide open

Lies have been spoken

Beasts have awoken

Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump, we fall)

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!)
