Killer
Palehound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An evil shakes in you
He's haulin' ass
Feet slapping down your avenue
Fingers tracin' the spaces between the
Bricks linin' your hall
My weapon's slick and my
Hands my back's against your wall
I wanna be the one
Who kills the man
Who hurt you darlin'
I wanna be the one
Who kills the man
Who hurt you darlin'
Just because I feel a devil
In your bed don't mean it's you
When you and sand and turned your head
And well that's when I knew
That it's not enough to run the
Dog out of this town
My weapon's cold in the backseat
Hunt that monster down
I wanna be the one
Who kills the man
Who hurt you darlin'
I wanna be the one
Who kills the man
Who hurt you darlin'
I wanna be the one
Who kills the man
Who hurt you darlin'
I wanna be the one
Who kills the man
Who
Just because I feel the devil
In your bed don't mean it's

With every step he takes
An evil shakes in you
He's hauling ass
Feet slapping down your avenue
Fingers tracing the spaces
Between the bricks lining your hall
My weapon's lick in my hands
My back's against your wall
I wanna be the one who kills the man who hurt you, darling
I wanna be the one who kills the man who hurt you, darling
Just because I feel the devil in your bed
Don't mean it's you
When you winced and turned your head
And wept, that's when I knew
That it's not enough to run that dog out of this town!
My weapon's cold in the backseat
Hunt that monster down.
I wanna be the one who kills the man who hurt you, darling
I wanna be the one who kills the man who hurt you, darling
I wanna be the one who kills the man who hurt you, darling
I wanna be the one who kills the man
Just because I feel the devil in your bed don't mean it's
