[Verse]
Neon signs flicker like broken stars
In the alleys where the shadows spar
A maze of whispers a thousand scars
[Prechorus]
They scurry they dart they disappear
Secrets buried beneath the smear
[Chorus]
Rats in the city knowing all the mystery
Twisting through the cracks where no one sees
Rats in the city living life so slippery
Dancing in the dark with the ghost of the breeze
[Verse 2]
Trash can kingdoms and puddles of gold
Tales untold where the asphalt folds
Silent screams where the truth grows cold
[Bridge]
Fuzzy static the air feels alive
Distorted dreams on which they thrive
Pitch bends as the secrets arrive
[Chorus]
Rats in the city knowing all the mystery
Twisting through the cracks where no one sees
Rats in the city living life so slippery
Dancing in the dark with the ghost of the breeze
