| I was walking down a back street
|
| Just the other night
|
| I got a funny feeling
|
| That things weren’t right
|
| I heard some heavy footsteps right behind
|
| And I know it wasn’t just my mind
|
| You know the foolkiller’s coming
|
| Uh-huh, he gettin' closer every day
|
| Don’t you know the foolkiller’s coming
|
| I’m gonna try to make my getaway
|
| I’ve been living in this concrete anthill
|
| Scraping and scrubbing for that dollar bill
|
| Eight million people living on a brink
|
| There ain’t no time to stop and think
|
| You know the foolkiller’s coming
|
| Uh-huh, I do believe it’s true
|
| Girl, I said the foolkiller’s coming
|
| I think he got his eye on me and you
|
| Now, if you never been a fool
|
| Then you don’t have to worry
|
| But if you have
|
| You better get in a hurry
|
| And just to be on the safe side
|
| Get yourself a little place to hide
|
| You know the foolkiller’s coming
|
| Lord, I do believe it’s true
|
| I see the foolkiller coming
|
| And I know he got his eye on me and you
|
| I’ve been living in this concrete anthill
|
| I’m scraping and scrubbing for that dollar bill
|
| Eight million people living on a brink
|
| And there ain’t no time to stop and think
|
| You know the foolkiller’s coming
|
| Lord, he’s getting closer every day
|
| Don’t you see the foolkiller coming
|
| I gonna try to make my getaway
|
| Now, if you never been a fool
|
| Then you don’t have to worry
|
| But if you have
|
| You better get in a hurry
|
| And just to be on the safe side
|
| Seek yourself a little place to hide
|
| You know, the foolkiller’s coming
|
| Lord, I do believe it’s true
|
| Can’t you see the foolkiller’s coming
|
| I know he got his eye on me and you
|
| Yeah, you know, the foolkiller’s coming, all right |
