The Wolf
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.
You were born to privilege
Licking on a silver spoon
Think you gotta buy all your friends
Just so you can tear up the room
Your kind is a dime a dozen
I've seen it all before
A parasite in a good disguise
Just another wolf at the door
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain't no friend of mine
You lay it on oh, so sweet
Just like that bad cologne
Just smiling tooth and nail
You gotta make your presence known
But you are only a lonely hunter
Some things you can't disguise
Just to look in the hallway mirror
Now it's howling in your eyes
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain't no friend of mine
Silent, slick and stalthy
Slinking through your evils nights
You can see in the dark they tell me
The daylight burns your eyes
I know you're trying to track me down now
You're right on my trail
Your think you're going for the big big game
But you're chasing your own tail
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
