URBAN WEREWOLF
HE'S A REGULAR GUY
THE FATHER OF TWO
HE USED TO LIVE BY ME
NOW, MAYBE RIGHT BY YOU
ONCE A MONTH
COME HELL OR HIGH WATER
HE'D LEAVE AND LEAVE ME
TO TAKE CARE OF HIS DAUGHTERS
SO ONCE WE FOLLOWED HIM
SURE HE WAS UP TO NO GOOD
HE LED US TO A VALLEY
AND INTO THE WOODS.
AS DARKNESS FELL UPON US
WE DROVE AND DROVE
DEEP INTO THE FOREST
AND ON TO A DIRT ROAD.
SOON WE CAME TO A CLEARING
AND THERE WAS HIS CAR
IT WAS PARKED IN A HURRY
THE DOOR WAS AJAR.
A FULL MOON LIT THE WOODS
SO I TURNED OFF MY LIGHTS
PULLED MY CAR OFF THE ROAD
AND OUT OF HIS SIGHT.
THAT'S WHEN WE HEARD IT
THERE IN THE BRUSH
A WILD ANIMAL WAS STRUGGLING
NOT TOO FAR FROM US !
IT WAS GROWLING AND HOWLING
LIKE WE'D NEVER HEARD
IT SOUNDED VICOUS, AWFUL
MAD AND DISTURBED !
THEN THERE IN THE CLEARING
THE WEREWOLF HE APPEARED
WITH EYES SO WILD AND MEAN
LIKE NOTHING WE'D EVER SEEN !
WITH HIS SHIRT STILL ON
BUT TORN APART
HE DISAPPEARED INTO THE DARK
THEN I LOOKED AT MY FRIEND
OUR FACES WERE WHITE
WE SCREAMED AND YELLED TOGETHER
WITH UNBELIEVABLE FRIGHT !
THEN I STARTED THE CAR
AND WITH AN AWESOME DISPLAY
LEFT A CLOUD OF DUST
AND SPED AWAY !
SO IF WHEN THE MOON IS FULL
YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR GOES AWAY
LOCK ALL YOUR DOORS
INSIDE YOU SHOULD STAY.
