Year of the Rat

There's a way, just walk the line
 Keep your direction and read the signs
 Just play the game or fade away
 Make your confessions and book a ride
 Now that your sparkling smile is outworn
 Now that your famous blue raincoat is torn
 Spin me a lie, and we'll slip through the haze
 Just like Louise, we'll get lost in the shades
 ♪
 Change your name and change your face
 For your protection and the new day
 Believe in me, you can be free
 Escape the aggression and book that ride
 ♪
 Now you're a rat, and you can't sleep at night
 Under the spell of the following eye
 This is the game, there's no getting out
 I've seen the end, and it looks like a nine
 You feel the chill that just crept down your spine
 This time, the last surrender
 Ax won't be buried, not never, not sorry
 It is too late to worry
