Sighin' down the wind so sadly,

The one that closed the bedroom door.

                A               Em  B     B
I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger,
      A              Em           B  B
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe...
              A               Em       B
Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler,

Coming down your marble hall,

Well, he's pouncing like proud black panther,
B              A    Em           B   B
Well, you can say I, I told you so!
                 A              Em       B       B
Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler,
        A     Em       B    B
Play it easy,  as you go,
            A                Em            B
I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows,
     B          A
Put a fist, put a fist through
 Em                B     B
Your steel-plated door!

I'll go easy with your cold fanged anger,
                A          Em          B
I'll stick my knife right down your throat,
