Flight Of The Rat Lyrics - Deep Purple In Rock - 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 sky 

With memories of a clown 

The saddest show in town

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

When I was seventeen 

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 

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 

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
