Wolves at the Door Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wolves wait at your door
For your permission
Slyly you invite them
On one condition
That they prepare a feast
From your provisions
Of root and wild beast
For you to eat
[Pre-Chorus]
Surprise
They took your money
And they ate your kids
And they had their way
With your wife a lil bit
While you wept on the porch
With your head in your hands
Cursing taxes and the government
[Chorus]
Cause you’re a goddamn fool
You're a goddamn fool
You're a goddamn fool
And I love you
Yeah I love you
[Verse 2]
Look into your eyes
Your former glory
Bright and open wide
Like easter morning
How the light has dimmed
And how the fear of everything
Is creeping in
[Chorus] x2
