Deep Purple - Flight Of The Rat lyrics

Spread the word around<br>The rat is leaving town<br>The message is a song<br>The misery is gone<br><br>Once I had a dream<br>To sing before the queen<br>She didn't want to know<br>She wouldn't see the show<br><br>What a fright<br>I couldn't do it right<br>Oh what a night<br><br>Mystic demons fly<br>All about the sk<br>With memories of a clown<br>The saddest show in town<br><br>When I was seventeen<br>Me mother said to me<br>Be careful what you touch<br>You shouldn't take so much<br><br>I blew my mind<br>She was so kind<br>I could have cried<br><br>In my mind<br>I had to fin<br>A kind of new way<br>Of being oh so cool<br>Like a blue blooded<br>Well studded<br>English fool<br><br>Speak about the past<br>Times are changing fast<br>Once I was so weak<br>I couldn't even speak<br><br>Shaking put a curse<br>Nothing could be worse<br>Walking through the door<br>Who could ask for more<br><br>Now I'm free<br>And I can see<br>That I am me<br><br>Spread the word around<br>The rat is leaving town<br>The message is a song<br>The misery is gone<br><br>Shaking out a curse<br>Nothing could be worse<br>Walking through the door<br>Who could ask for more<br><br>Now I'm free<br>And I can see<br>That I am me<br><br>Please stay away
