Flight Of The Rat (1995 Digital Remaster) - Deep Purple

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

The message is a song

The misery is gone

When the it is

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

Oh what a night

Mystic demons fly

All about the sk

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 shouldnt take so much

I blew my mind

She was so kind

I could have cried

In my mind

I had to fin

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

That I am me

Yes 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

Yes I am me

Please stay away
