Flight of the Rat lyrics

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

The message is a song

The misery is gone

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

Mystic demons fly

All about the sky

With memories of a clown

The saddest show in town

When I was seventeen

Me 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

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

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

That I am me
