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 sk
  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
  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
