Lyrics A Wolf At The Door - Radiohead

A Wolf At The Door

Drag him out your window
Dragging out the dead
Singing «I miss you»
Snakes and ladders
Flip the lid
Out pops the cracker
Smacks you in the head
Knifes you in the neck
Kicks you in the teeth
Steel toe caps
Takes all your credit cards
Get up, get the gunge
Get the eggs
Get the flan in the face
The flan in the face
The flan in the face
Dance, you fucker, dance, you fucker
Don’t you dare, don’t you dare
Don’t you, flan in the face
Take it with the love it’s given
Take it with a pinch of salt
Take it to the taxman
Let me back, let me back
I promise to be good
Don’t look in the mirror
At the face you don’t recognize
Help me, call the doctor, put me inside
Put me inside, put me inside
Put me inside, put me inside
I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that he’s gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don’t pay the ransom
And I’ll never see them again if I squeal to the cops
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Walking like giant cranes and
With my X-ray eyes, I strip you naked
In a tight little world and are you on the list?
Stepford wives, who are we to complain?
Investments and dealers, investments and dealers
Cold wives and mistresses
Cold wives and Sunday papers
City boys in first class
Don’t know we’re born at all
Just know someone else is gonna come and clean it up
Born and raised for the job
Someone always does
Oh, I wish you’d get up
Get over, get up, get over, turn your tape off
I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that he’s gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don’t pay the ransom
And I’ll never see them again if I squeal to the cops
So I’m just gonna…
