"Wolf (Modern Life)" lyrics

There's a wolf at my door and it's mean and grey
Looks a bit like me by the light of the day
And it's looking bones and it's searching for blood
And I'm shaking all over

I'm dancing to the beat of a dangerous drum
But it's not rock 'n' roll or a rhythm of old
It's eyes are flashing red and my skin is going cold
Now it's at my bed, in my dream
And he's breathing on me
He can taste my anxiety

He's here now
He's gonna eat me alive
I've gotta get out of here
He's here now
He's gonna eat me alive
Overpowered and eaten up by a wolf in the night

Seems everybody's younger than me
But, in years, it's an eternity
While I'm stumbling around the home
Abandoned and alone
Fighting technology

And the wolf is getting near
Now, he can smell my fear
And I'm trying to gain control
But it's not rock 'n' roll, though I'm shaking all over
And it's coming closer
He's coming to get me

He's here now
He's gonna eat me alive
I've gotta get out of here
He's here now
He's gonna eat me alive

He's stalking me like the years
Like a spectre, a shadow, a demon, assassin
He's passing
He's nearer

He's here now
He's gonna eat me alive
I've gotta get out of here
He's here now
He's gonna eat me alive
