Night time, I jumped back in the alley
Saw a shadow closin’ in
And blue smoke all around the figure
A knife blade is flashing grim
I made my move to get away
Seems like nowhere to run
All of a sudden I was blinded by a flash
Devil of a man with a gun
Lightnin’, it crackled all around me
Storm clouds are movin’ in
The blue smoke cleared so fast around me
The strange hunter’s gone again
I looked up to see what had happened
There he stood in front of me
He had a silver cape and eyes of red
With a button down limousine
