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 meI 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 allShine a light into your soul
City streets so freezing cold
City shadows mark the route,
when they let the rats outRats, you call it love alright
That was the catch, a cold suicideLet 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 noiseShine down,
You can go on home
Shine down
Go, goRats, 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 amYou could be my open road,
you could be the reason why
You could ease my heavy load
I'm gonna freeze you up nowYou 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 shoulderCity shadows mark the route
when they let the rats out
