Deep Purple 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 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.

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.

Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The 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.

Please stay away.
