CROATOAN

You better grab your gun
the moon ain't coming out tonight
nowhere you can run
no place left to hide
ain't no light of god
Shining down on mankind

we've drifted from the flock
the shepherd's lost a lamb
you say he protects the lot
but I don't see how you can
he watches the wolves approach
and still doesn't give a damn

go on and lock your doors
and shut those windows tight
no need for room and board
and please don't put out the light
you'll see there ain't no use
I'm letting myself inside
