Sleep with One Eye Open - John Kay

Watch out behind you, down the alley

You hear my foot steps closing in?

Look all around, there ain’t nobody

No sign of life, to save your skin

Now you might make it to your door step

But I’ll still get you in the end

Lock all the doors, lock all your windows

Bring home your children from the park

I’m in the shadows waiting for you

Yes can’t you hear your bull dog bark?

I’m what you fear most in your nightmares

When you lie shakin' in the dark

Sleep with one eye open

And one hand on the gun

In dreams I’m right behind you

As you run and run and run

I am your misbegotten seed

Growing wild outside your gate

I strike at everything you love

With blinding and jealous rage

I’m the unspoken that you hide from

I’m what your children may become

I kill without reason

Without pity or regret

I’ll leave you holding nothing

But crushing emptiness

And your walls, they won’t hide you

From the haunting and the dread

And your god, he won’t find you

As you pray and pray to see me dead

Yeah I might die tomorrow

Might catch a bullet in the brain

You may strap me to the deathbed

And stick the needle in my vein

But by the time you dig my grave

A hundred more will take my place
