lyrics

You’re Coming After You

It all happened about two weeks ago,
A feeling you got, on your drive home,
Looked in your rearview, no vehicles showed,
Started looking for wiretaps around your home,
Stopped utilizing your cellular phone,
Look at people, are they friend or foe?
And as the paranoia starts to grow,
It goes from what you suspect, to what you know.

(chorus #1)
Squeaky board, audible breathing, you’re coming after you,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, you’re coming after you,
Standing hair, quickened pulse, you’re coming after you,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, you’re coming after you.
(chorus #1)

Not your uncle, not the terrorists,
Not the bird flu, not the spooky fish,
Not your boss, not the communists,
Not a stalker, not the government,
It was the person with your name, who’s up to it,
With the same birth date, the same lack of grit,
The one who wears your shoes, who takes your shits,
The one out to inflict punishment.

(chorus #2)
Gain some weight, untie your shoes, you’re coming after you,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, you’re coming after you,
Lock the doors, batten hatches, you’re coming after you,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, you’re coming after you.
(chorus #2)

It seems for you two choices lie ahead,
Fight that summabitch, or lay down, play dead,
You know where they live, you know what they said,
That weak mirror person doesn’t seem a threat,
But if you’re weak and you start to fret,
Put yourself on a plane to Himalayan Tibet,
I say turn and fight, and you won’t regret,
I’ll pay that doctrine or else die in debt.

(chorus #3)
Shave your face, dye your hair, you’re coming after you,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, you’re coming after you,
Change your plates, change your friends, you’re coming after you,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, you’re coming after you.
(chorus #3)
