flight of the rat

Singer:deep purple

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
