Lyrics of 'Rats' by Sonic Youth

Do you want to know the lyrics of Rats by Sonic Youth? You're in the right place.

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 your love has died
And you rat on me

I see your eyes in the half light
I see the number on your wall
Endless strange things I see at night
You don't see anything at all

Shine a light into your soul
City streets so freezing cold
City shadows mark the route
When they let the rats out

Rats
You call it love alright
That was the catch
A cold suicide

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

Shine down
You can go on home
Shine down
Go

Rats
Your 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

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

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
