Watch out behind you, down the alley
|
You hear my foot steps closing in?
|
Look all around, there ain't nobody
|
No sign of life, to save your skin
|
Now you might make it to your door step
|
But I'll still get you in the end
|
|
Lock all the doors, lock all your windows
|
Bring home your children from the park
|
I'm in the shadows waiting for you
|
Yes can't you hear your bull dog bark?
|
I'm what you fear most in your nightmares
|
When you lie shakin' in the dark
|
|
Sleep with one eye open
|
And one hand on the gun
|
In dreams I'm right behind you
|
As you run and run and run
|
|
I am your misbegotten seed
|
Growing wild outside your gate
|
I strike at everything you love
|
With blinding and jealous rage
|
I'm the unspoken that you hide from
|
I'm what your children may become
|
|
I kill without reason
|
Without pity or regret
|
I'll leave you holding nothing
|
But crushing emptiness
|
And your walls, they won't hide you
|
From the haunting and the dread
|
And your god, he won't find you
|
As you pray and pray to see me dead
|
|
Yeah I might die tomorrow
|
Might catch a bullet in the brain
|
You may strap me to the deathbed
|
And stick the needle in my vein
|
But by the time you dig my grave
|
A hundred more will take my place
|
