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
