Rats [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
