in the year of the rat
nothing was swept under
in the year of the rat
we found our sense of wonder
in the year of the rat
gazing in the cracks
just right and out of whack
in the year of the rat
in the year of the rat

no one knows whats around the bend
never been there never done that
as fresh as the wind
everyone feels somethings in the air
all the questions all the answers
stumble and stare
in the year of the rat
in the year of the rat

in the year of the rat
something started stirring
in the year of the rat
cats and engines purring
in the year of the rat
climbing in the cracks
just right and out of whack
just right and out of whack
just right and out of whack
in the year of the rat
in the year of the rat
in the year of the rat
