The Stalker

(album: Poletown - 1997)

Saw a hundred men
Bet a hundred more
Are on their bellies
Crawling through your backdoor

I am a stalker
A dangerous man
A jilted lover
Ooh, an angry fan

I am the fly that buzzes around
Your room at night
And makes you crazy
I am a thought that thinks inside
Your head and screams
Be afraid of me

Spank the donkey
Kill the hog
Crack the whip
I am a watchdog

I'm listening baby
I'm stalking you
I'm watching everything you do

I am the spark that burns
Inside your brain at night
And won't let you sleep
I am the tears
That make your head ready to burst
And won't let you weep

She never believed
She never dreamed
She wants to be just friends
But she just couldn't see
What that'd do to me
I need to consume her

I am the stalker
I'm watching you
I'm watching everything that you do

I know your smell
I know your touch
I know it when you sleep
And when you're up
When you're not home
And when you're alone
And when you're shaving
When you're talking on the phone

I am the space between the ticking of the clock
I have the time
I am an old skeleton key that needs a lock
And you will be mine

She never believed
She never dreamed
She wants to be just friends
But she just couldn't see
What that'd do to me
I need to consume her

Now she never believed
(He mystifies her)
She never dreamed
(He glorifies her)
She wants to be just friends
(He gets inside her now)
But she just couldn't see
(He mystifies her)
What that'd do to me
(He glorifies her)
I need to consume her
(He gets inside her now)

Spank the donkey
Kill the hog
Crack the whip
I am a watchdog

Listen baby
I'm stalking you
I'm watching everything that you do
I'm listening baby
I'm stalking you
I'm watching everything that you do
Still here
I'll be around
I'm still here
Still here
