Kill The Rats

You see them all day roll away
They spin in the darkness the blind man's game
Wave to the trains
Those old broken windows

The morning is cold in the sun
Tearing and wearing the stoney ground
Nothing's left
But shells by the numbers

Kiss the cats
Squeeze the bats
Kiss the cat
But kill the rats

Kill, kill, kill the rats, kill, kill, kill the rats

Can we aford not to worry
Fight for the money long nights of fear
Bang shoot go on
Oh sweet sugared darnling

The coin in the well never helps
For nothing but keeping the hopes alive
Sunken dreams
Keep us afloat

Kiss the cats
Squeeze the bats
Kiss the cat
But kill the rats

Kill, kill, kill the rats, kill, kill, kill the rats

There's more in the can so pray now
Blue today but tomorrow all brown
So who can tell
Where this train is leaving

Kiss the cats
Squeeze the bats
Kiss the cat
But kill the rats

Kill, kill, kill the rats, kill, kill, kill the rats
