(James McCarty)

He's Just 'round the corner

Nobody will warn ya'

You wont see his coming

The way your life's a running

As he tries to wreck you

He's bound to affect you

Stops your inspiration

And all your creation

Chorus

Hey hey hey hey

Mr. Saboteur

You wont see him waiting

As he quietly starts to stir

hey hey hey hey

Mr. Saboteur

He's there

He's easy to hide

He's deep down inside

You wont see him scheming

Wile your quietly dreaming

He may try to take you

Or very slowly break you

He'll make It all so black

you won't get it back

Chorus

Hey hey hey hey

Mr. Saboteur

You wont see him waiting there

Right behind the door

hey hey hey hey

Mr. Saboteur

He's there
