Rats
Shutters are all down
Empty paint cans scattered on the ground
Every shopfront reads another warning
But the lost heed not and the drums don't stop
And the din grows like a storm cloud on the wind
No prophets left to purge our sins
No lights in the sky to follow
Blind and hollow idols falter
Senses watered down
And feet fixed to the ground
Like giants falling down
Now the rats are jumping ship
Now the rats are jumping ship
Now the rats are jumping
Oh, we're headed for a fall
But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)
Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)
Eyes are wide open
Lies have been spoken
Beasts have awoken
Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump!)
Stitches come undone
Rescue parties spoiling all the fun
Searching for a way out where there is none
Just time to bide and occupy
So might as well just sit and watch the fires
Take whatever you desire
It's not worth what you once thought
Paid and bought with paper dreams
Not worth their weight in gold
And the rapture now unfolds (rapture now unfolds)
It's something to behold (something to behold)
Now the rats are jumping ship (rats are jumping ship)
Now the rats are jumping ship (rats are jumping ship!)
Now the rats are jumping
Oh, we're headed for a fall
But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)
Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)
Eyes are wide open
Lies have been spoken
Beasts have awoken
Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump!)
Oh, we're headed for a fall
But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)
Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)
Eyes are wide open
Lies have been spoken
Beasts have awoken
Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump, we fall)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!)
Empty paint cans scattered on the ground
Every shopfront reads another warning
But the lost heed not and the drums don't stop
And the din grows like a storm cloud on the wind
No prophets left to purge our sins
No lights in the sky to follow
Blind and hollow idols falter
Senses watered down
And feet fixed to the ground
Like giants falling down
Now the rats are jumping ship
Now the rats are jumping ship
Now the rats are jumping
Oh, we're headed for a fall
But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)
Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)
Eyes are wide open
Lies have been spoken
Beasts have awoken
Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump!)
Stitches come undone
Rescue parties spoiling all the fun
Searching for a way out where there is none
Just time to bide and occupy
So might as well just sit and watch the fires
Take whatever you desire
It's not worth what you once thought
Paid and bought with paper dreams
Not worth their weight in gold
And the rapture now unfolds (rapture now unfolds)
It's something to behold (something to behold)
Now the rats are jumping ship (rats are jumping ship)
Now the rats are jumping ship (rats are jumping ship!)
Now the rats are jumping
Oh, we're headed for a fall
But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)
Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)
Eyes are wide open
Lies have been spoken
Beasts have awoken
Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump!)
Oh, we're headed for a fall
But I can't seem to see the ground at all (see the ground at all)
Scraps for one and all (can't see the ground at all!)
Eyes are wide open
Lies have been spoken
Beasts have awoken
Ties must be broken now (we jump, we fall, we jump, we fall)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!)
