Well ah jumpt! and fled this fuckin' heap on doctored wings
Mah flailin pinions, with splints and rags and crutches!
(Damn things nearly hardly flap)
Canker upon canker upon one million tiny punctures
That look like...
Long thin red ribbons draped across the arms of a lil mortal girl
(Like a ground -plan of Hell)
Curse these smartin strings! These fuckin' ruptures!
Enough! Enough is enough!
(If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out)
If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out
Ah caint tolerate this ol tin-tub
So fulla trash and rats! Felt one crawl across mah soul
For a seckon there , as thought as wassa back down in the ghetto!
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!)
Ah'm bailin out! There's a mutiny in Heaven!
Ah wassa born...
And Lord shakin, even then was dumpt into some icy font,
like some great stinky unclean!
From slum-chuch to slum-church, ah spilt mah heart
To some fat cunt behind a screen...
Evil poppin eye presst up to the opening
He'd slide shut the lil perforated hatch...at night mah body
blusht
To the whistle of the birch
With a lil practice ah soon learnt to use in on mahself
Punishment?! Reward!! Punishment?! Reward!!
Well, ah tied on...percht on mah bed ah was...
sticken a needle in mah arm...
Ah tied off! fuckin' wings burst out mah back
(Like ah was cuttin teeth!!)
Ah took off!!!
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!)
There's a mutiny in Heaven!
Oh Lord, ah git down on mah knees
(Ah git down on mah knees and start to pray)
Wrapped in mah mongrel wings, ah nearly freeze
In the howlin wind and drivin rain
(All the trash blowin round 'n' round)
>From slum-heaven into town
Ah take mah tiny pain and rollin back mah sleeve
(Roll anna roll anna roll anna roll)
Ah yank the drip outa mah vein! UTOPIATE! Ah'm bailin out!
UTOPIATE!
If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out!
Mah threadbare soul teems with vermin and louse
Thoughts come like a plague to the head...in God's house!
Mutiny in Heaven!
(Ars infectio forco Dio)
To the plank!
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!)
Ah'm bailin out!
(Hail Hypuss Dermio Vita Rex!)
Hole inna ghetto! Hole inna ghetto!
(Scabio Murem per Sanctum...Dio, Dio, Dio)
Mah flailin pinions, with splints and rags and crutches!
(Damn things nearly hardly flap)
Canker upon canker upon one million tiny punctures
That look like...
Long thin red ribbons draped across the arms of a lil mortal girl
(Like a ground -plan of Hell)
Curse these smartin strings! These fuckin' ruptures!
Enough! Enough is enough!
(If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out)
If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out
Ah caint tolerate this ol tin-tub

Well I jumped and fled this fucking heap on doctored wings
My flailing pinions with splints and rags and crutches
(Damn things nearly hardly flap)
Canker upon canker upon one million tiny punctures
That look like
That look like
Long thin red ribbons draped across the arms of a little mortal girl
(Like a ground plan of Hell)
Curse these smarting strings
These fucking ruptures
Enough! Enough is enough!
If this is Heaven i'm bailing out
If this is Heaven i'm bailing out
If this is Heaven i'm bailing out
I can't tolerate this ol tin-tub
So full of trash and rats
Felt one crawl across my soul
For a second there, I thought I was back down in the ghetto
Rats in Paradise
Rats in Paradise
I'm bailin out
There's a mutiny in Heaven
I was born...
And Lord shaking, even then was dumped into some icy font
like some great stinky unclean
From slum-chuch to slum-church
I spilt my heart to some fat cunt behind a screen
Evil poppin eye pressed up to the opening
He'd slide shut the little perforated hatch
at night my body blushed
To the whistle of the birch
With a little practice I soon learned to use in on myself
Punishment? Reward!
Punishment?
Well, I tied on
perched on my bed I was
sticking a needle in my arm
I tied off
Fucking wings burst out my back
Like i was cutting teeth
I took off
Rats in Paradise
Rats in Paradise
There's a mutiny in Heaven
Oh Lord, I get down on my knees
I get down on my knees and start to pray
Wrapped in my mongrel wings I nearly freeze
In the howling wind and driving rain
All the trash blowing round and round
From slum-heaven into town
I take my tiny pain and rolling back my sleeve
Roll and roll and roll and roll
I yank the drip out of my vein
Utopiate
I'm bailing out
Utopiate
If this is Heaven i'm bailing out
My threadbare soul teams with vermin and louse
Thought come like a plague to the head in God's house
Rat's in paradise
Rats in paradise
Mutiny in Heaven
Mutiny in heaven
If this is heaven I'm bailing out
Like i was cutting teeth
ah yes...
we've all been there.
