Lyrics

Rats

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can't sleep tonight

The devil's in the Moon

So I walk the city streets

I take big steps to get nowhere

I look at the lights

There's nothing here for me

I can't see the stars in the sky

The buildings reach to high

I can't sleep tonight

And I can't stay alive

I see the pimps

I see the whores

I see the thieves outside your door

I look down the alley where I left my life

I see rats in the sewer at night

She said if I leave I won't come back

She said if I leave I won't come back

I can't sleep tonight

And I can't stay alive

I can't sleep tonight

And I can't stay alive

I can't stay alive

The devil's making room

I walk from the alley where I lost my life

I see rats with blood in their eyes

I said if you leave don't come back

I said if you leave don't ever come back

I can't sleep tonight

And I can't stay alive
