The Dear Hunter - Mr. Usher (On His Way To Town) lyrics

The shutters close when he's around The children shut their eyes In fear of what they must surmise When all the gentlemen hang their heads down Yeah, Mr. Usher's on his way to town He keeps his sights set straight and true His idle hands won't flit or flutter Never does he slip or stutter Still his mind is menacing away Yeah, Mr. Usher's on the prowl today He needn't dirty up his hands He'll twist you heart until you're manic Lost in endless streams of panic Pray you're not the one he finds If Mr. Usher's got you on his mind Any time the plan'll get a bit off track He's the only one who can bring it back The main manipulator Yeah, the wolf who leads the pack You better lock your doors and shut your windows tight Pull the shades down and turn off the lights Always feed the hand that leads to teeth that bite Because, if he has no use for you He'll take you to the river He'll have you hanging by a string Or noose if he prefers you perish All your dreams become nightmarish If you block his path or plan Yeah Mr. Usher always gets his man
