Sneaking, creeping I'm hiding in the shadows of life Ruthless, truthless Like a hungry hyena I steal to deny Sooner or later I might pay you a call And while you are sleeping I'll be climbing your wall In the darkest dreams You'll see me in your eye You won't know who I am In my bare-faced disguise Devious, mischievous The only way to go on the street Ungrateful, I'm hateful I'll take the shirt off you back and those shiny boots from your feet Sooner or later I might pay you a call And while you are sleeping I'll be climbing your wall Don't ever drop your guard When you think it's okay
