lyrics

Hey boy, where’d you get them fancy clothes?
Where did you get that house, that job and that shiny car?

And hey boy, where'd you find that sweet little girl?
You know I think I saw her once in a magazine.

Oh you don't say? I can have all the good things you have and all I gotta do is sign on the dotted line.

Well HELL yea. Just pass me that black little pen and I’ll put my name all over these blood old stained walls.


I'll sign away. I'll sign away oh yea. Sign away my soul cause I don't need it anymore

But hey Boy
This isn't what we agreed to now
See I got those clothes but that they're filled with holes

And oh yea
I'm living in that big house uptown
But I can't sleep at night 'cause you know its haunted by ghosts

And guess what? About that sweet little girl
I looked into her eyes and this is what I saw:

I saw your face, and all those poor souls you hold
But you know what Mr. Devil, now don't think your clever
There’s something you ought to know

We're just so bored
We're just so bored of it all
For a little bit of gain yea will give our souls all away

Now so…don’t you
Don't sign your name on that wall
But I know that you will
Because you're just as bored as me

So sign away, sign away your soul
Cause you don't need it anymore

River Rats Berlin, Germany

From the depths of the Spree and its canals come the River Rats! They drag two guitars, double-bass and violin through the gloomy tunnels of Berlin to their moon-lit sessions.

Influenced by the diminished lines of Django.R, the heart of the variété française and the complexity of World Music, the Rats wander between the ragged niches of Kreuzberg’s street jams and the glamorous grand theater. ... more
