deep purple
flight of the rat
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 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 shouldn't 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  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
