Five years wading in the pool

With more rules than a Sunday school

Woke up, took a shower

Now I've got soul power

I smell a rat

I smell a rat

I know I smell a rat, baby

Got a ride on the midnight train

To the beauty of the brain

I got drunk, on love

Got stuck in the mud

I smell a rat

I smell a rat

I know I smell a rat, baby

I smell a rat

I smell a rat

Plant the garden on the wall

Paint the ceiling on the floor

Sit back, relax, breathe deep

I smell a rat (X8)

I smell a rat, rat, rat, rat
