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 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
