Flight Of The Rat Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Ian Gillan; Roger Glover; Jon Lord; Ian Paice Performer(s): 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
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 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 And I can see
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 can see
Please stay away
