Spread the word around, the rat is leaving town
The message is a song, the misery is gone
Ooh yes, it is
Once I had a dream to sing before the queen
She didn't want to know, she wouldn't see the show
Oh, what a fright, I couldn't do it right
Oh, what a night, oh, what a night
Mystic demons fly all about the sky
With memories of a clown, the saddest show in town, yeah
When I was 17, my 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, oh
Ooh, 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
ย
Speak about the past, the times are changing fast
Once I was so weak, I couldn't even speak, not a word
Shaking out a curse, nothing could be worse
Walking through the door, who could ask for more?
And now I'm free and I can see
And I am me, yes, I am me
ย
Yeah
Work it out, now, ooh
ย
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 am me, yes, I am me
ย
Ooh, oh-oh
Please, stay away
