The Hunter

Stranded on the freeway
Waiting for a ride
The car pulls up beside her
He smiles, she gets inside
But he's not going her way
As they drive into the night
As they pull into a lot by
Something is not right

Mama's getting worried
It's getting very late
The other side of midnight
She should've been home by eight
And in the early morning
All the headlines read the same
Just another helpless victim
As the killer strikes again

And the hunter becomes the hunted
Now the hunter, the hunter's on the run
For the hunter, the chase has just begun
Daylight hours are over
As she walks across the park
A school clock strikes the hour
As she hurries through the dark
Footsteps in the shadows
Slowly echo all around
With a sudden flash of steel
She stumbles to the ground

And the hunter becomes the hunted
Now the hunter, the hunter's on the run
For the hunter, the chase has just begun
This world's caught up in the madness
Is there no end to the sadness
No escape, no escape
Another night, another life
Break the rules and pay the price
But it's too late

So she takes a short cut
Through the alleys all alone
Now the party's over
She's making tracks for home
Should've took the warning
Should've gone home with her friends
Just another life on the edge of a knife
The story never ends

And the hunter becomes the hunted
Now the hunter, the hunter's on the run
For the hunter, the chase has just begun
And the hunter becomes the hunted
Now the hunter, the hunter's on the run
For the hunter, the chase has just begun
