歌词
FLIGHT OF THE RAT (Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Oh, yes he did.
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,
Oh what a sight.
Mystic demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town, oh yes.
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, oh no.
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
Not a word.
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 am me,
Yes I am free
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 free
Please stay away!
