Year of the Rat

There's a way, just walk the line

Keep your direction and read the signs

Just play the game or fade away

Make your confessions and book a ride

Now that your sparkling smile is outworn

Now that your famous blue raincoat is torn

Spin me a lie, and we'll slip through the haze

Just like Louise, we'll get lost in the shades

Change your name and change your face

For your protection and the new day

Believe in me, you can be free

Escape the aggression and book that ride

Now you're a rat, and you can't sleep at night

Under the spell of the following eye

This is the game, there's no getting out

I've seen the end, and it looks like a nine

You feel the chill that just crept down your spine

This time, the last surrender

Ax won't be buried, not never, not sorry

It is too late to worry

Now you're a rat, and you can't sleep at night

Under the spell of the following eye

This is the game, there's no getting out

I've seen the end, and it looks like a nine

You feel the chill that just crept down your spine

This time, the last surrender

Ax won't be buried, not never, not sorry

It is too late to worry

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh
