Rats Lyrics

[Lee]

When the rats run riot,

and the screen door slams

When the trees grow quiet,

nothing but cats and cans

When the breeze says "try it",

but you can hardly see

When your love has died,

and you rat on me

I see your eyes in the half-light,

I see the number on your wall

Endless strange things I see at night,

you don't see anything at all

Shine a light into your soul

City streets so freezing cold

City shadows mark the route,

when they let the rats out

Rats, you call it love alright

That was the catch, a cold suicide

Let me place you in my past,

with other precious toys

But if you're ever feeling low, down,

in the fractured sunshine,

I'll help you feel the noise

Shine down,

You can go on home

Shine down

Go, go

Rats, you're working overtime

You are the moon beyond your mind

When the rats run riot,

and the screen door slams

When the world goes quiet,

you'll all know where I am

You could be my open road,

you could be the reason why

You could ease my heavy load

I'm gonna freeze you up now

You can let it shine,

keep that in mind

When they let 'em out next time

You can move a little closer,

until you're moving all up around my shoulder

City shadows mark the route

when they let the rats out
