Hunter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If travel is searching
And home what's been found
I'm not stopping
[Chorus]
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'll bring back the goods
But I don't know when
[Bridge]
I thought I could organize freedom
How Scandinavian of me
You sussed it out, didn't you?
[Verse 2]
You could smell it
So you left me on my own
To complete the mission
Now I'm leaving it all behind
[Chorus]
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'm the hunter
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'm the hunter
I'm the hunter
I'm the hunter
I'm the hunter
[Outro]
You just didn't know me
You just didn't know me
