Lyrics
Son Of Sam
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Something's happening, don't speak to soon
I told the boss off and made my move, got nowhere to go
Son of sam, son of the shining path, the clouded mind
The couple killer each and every time
I'm not uncomfortable feeling weird
Lonely leered, options disappear, but i know what to do
Son of sam, son of a doctor's touch, a nurse's love
Acting under orders from above
King for a day
Son of sam, son of the shining path, the clouded mind
The couple killer running out of time
Shiva opens her arms now
To make sure I don't get too far
I may talk in my sleep tonight 'cos i don't know what i am
I'm a little like you, more like son of sam
