All the rats living on the earth
In a cold wet and muddy swamp
Only ruled by death and dirt
Saw this big spaceship land in the swamp
Only the smartest of us crawled inside and saved themselves
All the rats living on the moon
Observing us insatiably
Crawling at night swimming in flumes
From their white satin observatory
Watching us trying to bloom
Admiring them incessantly
All the rats missing their brothers and sisters lost a million miles away
All the rats who envy the pigeons who can simply fly away
All the rats waiting patiently
For the night to swallow the sun and the day to digest the moon
Until the time has come finally
For the moon to meet her sons
All hoping it will happen soon
All the rats missing their brothers and sisters lost a million miles away
All the rats who envy the pigeons who can simply fly away
