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

And I can see



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

And I can see



Please stay away
