Flight of the Rat

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

This message is a song

This misery is gone

Ooh, yes he is

I once had a dream

To sing before the queen

She didn't want to know

She wouldn't see the show

Oh, what a fright

Couldn't do it right

Oh, what a night

Oh, what a night

Mystic demons fly

All about the sky

With memories of a clown

The saddest show in town

When I was seventeen

My mother said to me

Be careful what you touch

You shouldn't take so much

I blew my mind

She was so kind

I could have cried

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

Speak about the past

Times are changing fast

Once I was so weak

I couldn't even speak

Shaking put a curse

Nothing could be worse

Walking through the door

Who could ask for more

Now I'm free

And I can see

And I am me

Yes, I am me

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

This message is a song

The misery is gone

Shaking out a curse

Nothing could be worse

Walking through the door

Who could ask for more

Now I'm free

And I can see

That I am me

Yes, I am me

Oh, ooh, please stay away, yay
