The house of the rats

(motivated by The house of the Rising sun)

There is a house where I bought a pad
I call it the house of the rats
And it's been the ruin of many of my nerves
Oh God, I know I'm the one!

It has not been always this way
And I felt free for a while
I've even done some things alike
But quit while one be ahead

Now the only thing I do wish to get
Is a silencer-mounted gun
And the only time I do want to have
Is hear none of them without being drunk

Oh, estate agents shame on you!
You've done your dirty deed
Now I am up against my lunacy
Even the mortgage's no longer with me

Well, I got one foot on my thought
To leave this place behind
The other foot's still on this floor
I've dreamed of  my own so much

There is a house where I bought my pad
I call it the house of the rats
A good neighbor is a dead one
Or at least choose the high floor next time
