Beast At The Door

Who, who is this creature I see
Right in front of me?
Now I'm eyeing every move
There's a beast at the door
Make no sudden movement

Now I'll have to go so far from here
Run so far away
It's all very much to my dismay
How could I have ever been so wrong?
Too many words too strong
Where recklessness does not belong

She appeared as a beauty, a mirage to the parched
Then I warned him I feared there'd be some price to pay
Though he would not believe me

Then I saw the creature late at night
Slink across the light
Oh it crept to my door
But the hounds they did fight
It went away but the next day
Suffice to say the hounds were gone

Oh, she'll eat us alive
(Down in the garden, she'll eat us alive)
Oh, she'll eat us alive
(Lamb for the slaughter, she'll eat us alive)

She's crafting her story
Distorting the history
So that all will know that
She, she is the victim and I am the enemy

Now I'll have to go so far from here
Run so far away
It's all very much to my dismay
How could I have ever been so wrong?
Too many words too strong
Where recklessness does not belong

Oh, she'll eat us alive
(Down in the garden, she'll eat us alive)
Oh, she'll eat us alive
(Lamb for the slaughter, she'll eat us alive)

Oh, I took my daughters
We ran at the first sign of night
Husband sleeping, but we were safe out of sight
I swear I saw those yellow eyes see us hurry away
But they just turned back to their
Sleeping prey
