(Alexander Hacke reading from "the rats in the walls" by H.P. Lovecraft:)
I retired early, being very sleepy, but was harassed by dreams of the most horrible sort. I seemed to be looking down from an immense height upon a twilit grotto, knee-deep with filth, where a white-bearded daemon swineherd drove about with his staff a flock of fungous, flabby beasts whose appearance filled me with unutterable loathing. Then, as the swineherd paused and nodded over his task, a mighty swarm of rats rained down on the stinking abyss and fell to devouring beasts and man alike.
(Song By the Tiger Lillies)
Can you smell that smell
Can you hear the sound
Can you see that shadow
See it running round
Well you'd better not
Turn your back
Get the men to
Set some traps
Because there's rats rats rats ...
In the walls
In the foundations
Lie the twisted corpse
Well it's all in your
Mind of course
There amongst
The rotting meat
Where those rats
Have their feast
Yeah there's rats rats rats ...
In the walls
Each time they gnaw
Each time they b***
Out goes
Another light
In the foundations
Where they rot and die
Living lives
Built on lies
Yeah there's rats rats rats ...
In the walls
