Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
Message is a song
The misery is gone
Yes it isOnce 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 night
What a nightMystic demons fly
All above the sky
Memories of a clown
The saddest show in town, yeahWhen I was seventeen
My mother said to me
Careful what you touch
Shouldn't touch too muchI blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have criedIn my mind I had to find
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 speak
Not a wordShaking 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 me
Yes I am meSpread the word around
The rat is leaving town
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 me
Yes I am mePlease stay away
