Mystic demons fly 
All about the sky 
With memories of a clown 
The saddest show in town  
 
When I was seventeen 
Me mother said to me 
Be careful what you touch 
You shouldn't take so much  
 
I blew my mind 
She was so kind 
I could have cried

A kind of new way 
 
 
 
B        B      B     B A G# 
 
Of being oh so cool 
 
 
 
B       B      B     B A G# 
 
Like a blue blooded 
 
 
 
B     B     B     B A G# 
 
Well studded 
 
 
 
B    B   B      B A G# 
 
English fool 
 
(Solo)  
Speak about the past 
Times are changing fast 
Once I was so weak 
I couldn't even speak  
 
Shaking put a curse 
Nothing could be worse 
Walking through the door 
Who could ask for more  
  
Now I'm free 
And I can see 
That I am me  
 
Spread the word around 
The rat is leaving town 
The message is a song 
The misery is gone  
 
Shaking out a curse 
Nothing could be worse 
Walking through the door 
Who could ask for more  
 
Now I'm free 
And I can see 
That I am me  
Please stay away
