"The Lone Wolf"

[Refrain:]
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah
Do, da-na, dum, dum, dah

He was the lone wolf
You could see it in his eyes
The way he held his heart
The way he held his lies
Sometimes, he'd just show up
Outside, on the porch
An hour at a time
Like a lonely whore

[Refrain:]
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah

And she was a scarecrow
The way she always looked around
For something she once had
It never could be found
Time was on her side
But she never kept track
And all the hunters came
And took her memories back

[Refrain:]
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah

And once, they met inside
A dirty, curtained room
And the rain fell down hard that day
Onto the tin roof
She said, "I've seen you before
Well, I've been looking for you
Better keep your heart closed
Hunters are coming for you"
He said, "I've seen them a hundred times
And I always get away
Because you will never stop looking
And I'll never stay"

[Refrain:]
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah
Do, do-do, do, dum-dah
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah

The lone wolf kissed her mouth
Like so many before
The scarecrow closed her eyes
And then, she closed the door
And the rain fell down on the tin roof
When the hunters came that night
They stole all of her memories
Killed the wolf and all his lies

[Refrain to fade]
Do, do-do, do, dum-dah
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah
Do, do-do, do, dum, dah...
