[Lyric] Rat King (Sidi Bou Said)

Seven rats in a circle, their hearts are beating patiently
Seven little rat mouths are working in a food frenzy
How long can they live
How long can they live

If I could free them all, free their limbs
Cut loose them from their tails
They wouldn’t be tangled together
They wouldn’t be a rat king, all tied to one another
Until they die, like a strange monster
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king

Seven little bodies are facing out into thе air
Twenty-eight little rat limbs arе struggling to free themselves
Seven little rat brains are wondering how it all happened
How long can they live?
If I could free them all, free their limbs
Cut loose them from their tails
They wouldn’t be tangled together
They wouldn’t be a rat king, all tied to one another
Until they die, like a strange monster
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
If I could free them all, free their limbs
Cut loose them from their tails
They wouldn’t be tangled together
They wouldn’t be a rat king, all tied to one another
Until they die, like a strange monster
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king, oh
In a rat king
In a rat king, oh
