I saw the building burning down
I saw the dogs come running in two by two
I saw the building burning down
I saw the dogs come running in two by two
I saw the feast of Saint Christopher beginning
I drew connecting lines between these things

You say I need to get some sleep
You say I need to take it easy for a while
You say I'll never learn to swim at this rate
But I’m waiting for you downstairs
And the water's rushing in on me

So I guess the wheel's been set in motion
I guess the ship, it’s gone and left its little harbor
I guess we'll wait and see what happens to us next
And I can't wait because thеre's rats in the walls

Therе are rats in the walls
There are rats in the walls
There are rats in the walls
There are rats in the walls

There are rats beneath the floorboards
Rats up in the ceiling
Rats in the walls
There are rats in the walls
