It was an eyesore, the old brick house
Was a brothel before it was ours
And mum thought that was the funniest thing she’d ever heard
When she found out, she told all her friends about it
Well I don’t think they were as impressed
Eighteen and I left that town
With my tail between my legs
I wasn’t sticking around
To see what happens next, nah
I lost some of my best friends
To these traps
This town is a snake
It’s no place for a rat
To the cities with the train stations where I can hide
Amongst people moving frantically
I can cut my hair, shave my face
Give my shoes a shine
But they keep coming back to me
I must be easy to find
But some things aren’t so easily left behind
Like the memories of you
That still haunt me after all of this time
I’ve still got arrows in my back
This town is a snake
It’s no place for a rat
It’s no place for a rat
Stay or scurry away
You are free to choose
They say people don’t just disappear
But round here they do
Stay or scurry away
Not everyone gets to choose
They say people don’t just disappear
But round here they do
And they don’t come back
This town, it is a snake
It’s no place, no place for a rat
This town, it is a snake
It’s no place, no place for a rat
