Lyric Hunted

Emma s in a part of town
where she doesn t recognize the streets
named for famous native sons
and out of every crevice comes creeping
a threat in her direction
Lucy s outside her home
heading towards her corner store
she stays on well-travelled paths
and is always making sure
that she doesn t develop patterns

There are trap lines
running up and down Main Street
wire snares thirsting for your neck and feet

Susan doesn t like the way her curtains
are blowing in the wind
She swears she locked that window
before she went out dancing
she stands frozen in her doorway
Judy hears a sound coming from the other room
she knows she should be alone
cause the kids left at noon
to go visit their father

Quick to your phone dial 911
invite a strange man into your home
who ll be carrying a gun

Leslie s working late
she s got a deadline to meet
In walks her boss,
upon her desk he puts his feet
and says alone at last
Reanne s got a new boyfriend
and they re getting along
until he locks the door and says don t struggle,
I m stronger than you are.

Just one question I m dying to ask, you said,
do you know what it s like to be hunted?
