Rats with Wings Lyrics

They told her

Bats are rats with wings

But the rats think

Bats are angels

She dressed in black

Wearing leather wings

Slept upside down

Like it's a normal thing

She lurked in the dark

She preferred the night

Everybody said

Her mind wasn't right

They told her

Bats are rats with wings

But the rats think

Bats are angels

She became the punchline

To a neighborhood joke

She was tied in a knot

At the end of her rope

She was flipping out

So she flipped them off

Started flapping her wings

And then she took off

They told her

Bats are rats with wings

But the rats think

Bats are angels

If she could find a cave

Where she could be alone

Far from the drama

Of her broken home

Would she grow like a flower

behind a garden wall

Or turn into a monster

That devours us all?

They told her

Bats are rats with wings

But the rats think

Bats are angels
