---Flight Of The Rat (Roger Glover Remix)---
--Deep Purple--

Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is goneOnce I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didn't want to know
She wouldn't see the showWhat a fright
I couldn't do it right
Oh what a nightMystic demons fly
All about the sk
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in townWhen I was seventeen
Me mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so muchI blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have criedIn my mind
I had to fin
A kind of new way
Of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded
English foolSpeak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldn't even speakShaking put a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for moreNow I'm free
And I can see
That I am meSpread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is goneShaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for moreNow I'm free
And I can see
That I am mePlease stay away
