Flight Of The Rat

Spread the word around The rat is leaving town Message is a song The misery is gone Yes it is Once I had a dream To sing before the queen She didn't want to know She wouldn't see the show What a fright I couldn't do it right Oh, what a night What a night Mystic demons fly All above the sky Memories of a clown The saddest show in town, yeah When I was seventeen My mother said to me Careful what you touch Shouldn't touch too much I blew my mind She was so kind I could have cried In 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 Not a word 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 Spread the word around The rat is leaving town 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 Please stay away
