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
