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 The axe won’t be buried, not ever, not sorry It is too late to worry
