Predator Lyrics

Don't be frightened,

It's only me

Just a stranger in these streets

Out for a walk you see

Perhaps you could show me

How does one get to the Collins Cannery?

A young lady shouldn't be out here

Alone, it's good you've found me

May I escort you?

Come let's walk around this corner here

Yes it's dark, but isn't it nice my dear?

Take my arm, I'll make my intentions clear

In a moment, all your fear will disappear!

As in nights past

I've often used such chivalry

On a working lass

They don't look too closely

They see I'm finely dressed

And well spoken as you see

They can't run fast

Enough , to escape me!

Such a predator in a soft spoken man

I'm not one to strike fear within most

No animal can charm as I can

Yet I'm as deadly as any and elusive as a ghost

Sure I boast, I'm as deadly as any other beast

Beneath polished veneer , I'm a killer underneath

Yet if I could have my wish

I'd live as I did then

When I was an ordinary man

I've had all I've ever loved cruelly taken from me

Left alone to eternity- alone!

And this melancholy shell ,is what I'm left to be

I was turned to something my own father loathed!

Just a miserable monster

To hunt by night and sleep by day

To be consumed by memories and thoughts that never go away

It's hard to be a predator and prey

It's hard to be a predator and pray
