Verse 1:
It was written I should
be loyal to this nightmare
that we're in But something
about all the sorrow in your
heart that won't let me in
Like the hands of a fool
with money to burn In
the breath of one last
dying wish We hear
the call and it
sounds like there's
Chorus 1:
Rats in the walls
It's like the dark
side of the moon
Serenade me with
a whisper and let
this nightmare
in us bloom
Verse 2:
Where do i send all my
money? Who'll deliver
the nails through my
heart When I've gone
and set it all up
burning like the walls
In the ghetto of this
reckless love Bow down
with a whimper to pass
the time Or hold me down
and take what's mine Put
my head under water and
drink my wine And watch
me take it all way too
far Lip service to the
one that gave you your
crown You're holding your
breath as you're waiting
to drown The echoes in your
head bounce around like
Chorus 2:
Rats in the walls
It's like the dark
side of the moon
Serenade me with
a whisper and let
this nightmare
in us bloom
Tonight I'm all
dressed here in
black I got your
monkey on my back
We are not what we
say we mean everything
we do And tonight I'm
gonna kill another
part of you
Bridge:
Stimulation hollow
transmission ill
defined At the
center of our hearts
a signal too obscure
to find Acoustic
shadows sex and chaos
and the sound of you
and me Here all roads
defy your gra-vity
Guitar Solo:
I have been here
all along with
Chorus 2:
Rats in the walls
It's like the dark
side of the moon
Serenade me with
a whisper and let
this nightmare
in us bloom
Tonight I'm all
dressed here in
black I got your
monkey on my back
We are not what we
say we mean everything
we do And tonight I'm
gonna kill another
C#m C#m C#m B A B C#m(hold)
part of you
