I saw something in the mirror  
Someone’s watching me  
If I hide in the attic  
They will never get to me  
I found some rope on the floor  
I have to build a trap  
So I start on my machine  
I am never to be seen

Into my room he creeps  
Without making a sound  
Into my dreams he peeps  
With his hair all long and hanging down

How he makes me quiver  
How he makes me smile  
With all this love I have to give him  
I guess I’m gonna stay with him awhile

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word  
And never mind that noise you heard  
It’s just the beasts under your bed  
In your closet, in your head

Exit light  
Enter night  
Grain of sand  
Exit light  
Enter night  
Take my hand  
We’re off to never-never land, yeah

Ooh, ooh, dream weaver  
I believe you can get me through the night  
Ooh, ooh, dream weaver  
I believe we can reach the morning light

But she was blinded by the light  
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night  
Blinded by the light  
She got down, but she never got tired  
She’s gonna make it through the night

Come and lay down by my side  
‘Til the early morning light  
All I’m takin’ is your time  
Help me make it through the night

Born in the night  
She would run like a leopard  
That freaks at the sight  
Of a mind close beside herself  
And the nearer I came  
How the country would change  
She was using the landscape  
To hide herself

You were once running wild, hiding in the morning mist  
Game demands I make you mine  
I thought that I could resist  
But the leopard in you silently preyed on me

</div>

In touch with the ground  
I’m on the hunt, I’m after you  
Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd  
And I’m hungry like the wolf  
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme  
I’m on the hunt, I’m after you  
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine  
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Wolf City  
You are a pearl without pity  
Your glory is  
Like ice cream  
Dripping on the skin of a girl

When you’re young and so in love as we  
And bewildered by the world we see  
Why do people hurt us so?  
Only those in love could know  
What a town without pity can do

</div>

Isn’t it a pity?  
Now isn’t it a shame?  
How we break each other’s hearts and cause each other pain  
How we take each other’s love without thinking anymore  
Forgetting to give back  
Isn’t it a pity?

Said I’ve been crying, yeah  
Oh, my tears they fell like rain  
Don’t you hear them, don’t you hear them falling?  
Don’t you hear them, don’t you hear them falling?

Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door?  
I said you had the nerve to tell me  
You didn’t want me no more, yeah  
I open my front door, hear my back door slam  
You know, I must have one of them new fangled  
New fangled back door man  
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can’t you hear me knockin’ down your dirty street?

Along came lonely, lanky Jones
