Killer In The Trees

A killer in the trees waiting for the season to change
Crawling through the leaves
And polishing his claws with his teeth
And every sour word that you have heard he stirs
A lover off the leash lapping up his last lover’s lead
He’s hoping that the seeds won’t bury the scent of the scene
And every once and a while he looks around, but not now
And the killer’s crawling like a criminal on the ground
And the lover says I don’t want to fight you
I just want to lie here
This ain’t the first time I’ve seen you by here
I don’t want your money I just want the miles
Throw the first born on the fire
Now the killer’s looking green he’s never met a lover so lean
Or maybe it’s the heat clouding up his killer instinct
But something about the lover don’t seem right in his eyes
The lover’s love could save a thousand more
Than are killed in the killer’s war
And the killer screams I don’t want to fight you
I just want to lie here
This ain’t the first time I’ve happened by here
I don’t want your money I just want the miles
Throw the first born on the fire
Throw the first born on the fire
I don’t want your family I just want the files
Throw the first born on the fire
Save the smooth talk this ain’t the Bible
Throw the first born on the fire
Throw the first born on the fire
Throw the first born on the fire
