Lyrics

rats in my walls

it's always a quiet night
in my room
i'll tell 'em twice
don't we go
i'll get 'em back
i'll, i'll get 'em back

it's always so black and white
i'm awake or sleeping tight
oh so sad
i'll get back
i'll, i'll get 'em back

i can hear rats in my walls
tails taking a toll
i don't want my paracetamol
and i can hear rats rats in my walls
telling my doctor to go home
i don't want to go to sleep alone

you tell the wrong time
you just keep thinking
that's what you think
well maybe you should think twice

get out!
of my house
it's my house

there's lots of thoughts in my head
so i'll just keep putting them to bed
can i get outta here?
i'll go anywhere

i can hear rats in my walls
tails taking a toll
i don't want my paracetamol
i can hear rats rats in my walls
telling my doctor to go home
i don't want to go to sleep alone

i can hear rats in my walls
tails taking a toll
i don't want my paracetamol
i can hear rats rats in my walls
telling my doctor to go home
i don't want to go to sleep alone

i don't want to go to sleep alone

i can hear rats in my walls
i can hear
oh can you hear?

i can hear rats in my walls
i can hear
oh can you hear?

i can hear rats in my walls
walls
walls

you tell the wrong time
you just keep thinking
that's what you think
well maybe you should think twice
