Låttexter: Sonic Youth. Rats.

V1
when the rats run riot
and the screen door slams
when the trees grow quiet
nothing but cats and cans
when the breeze says 'try it'
but you can't hardly see
when yr love has died
and you rat on me
BR1
I see yr eyes in the half light
I see the number on yr wall
endless strange things I see at night
you don't see anything at all
CH1
shine a light into yr soul
city streets so freezing cold
city shadows mark the route
when they let the rats out
V2
RATS
you call it love alright
that was the catch
a cold suicide
BR2
let me place you in my past
with other precious toys
but if yr ever feeling lowdown in the fractured sunshine
I'll help you feel the noise
CH2
shine down
you can go on home
shine down
go
V3
RATS
yr working overtime
you are the moon
beyond yr mind
when the rats run riot
and the screen door slams
when the world goes quiet
you won't know where I am
BR
you could be my open road
you could be the reason why
you could ease my heavy load
but i'm gonna freeze you out now
CH
you can let it shine
keep that in mind
when they let 'm out this time
you could move a little closer
until yr leaning all up around my shoulder
city shadows mark the route
when they let the rats out
