Matt Carpanini - Wolf at the Door Lyrics

The latch lifts
The door opens up
My stomach sinks to see I'm out of luck
The flash Amber stare, open mouth
Pearl white teeth, shaggy hair round-about

It's no surprise to see her coming
I heard her claws across the floorboards
The low throat growl, howl and heckles
It's no surprise to see her coming on

I scramble for the window and then I'm gone
Down the spiral staircase on the run
Out into the alleys, bunched and black
Got the shake the wolf from off my back

It's no surprise to see her coming
I heard her claws across the floorboards
The low throat growl, howl and heckles
It's no surprise to see her coming on

Years gone by and still no hide or hair
Seven countries, changed my face with flair
Seventeen jobs, each one underpaid
Sixteen lovers, each time under-laid

It's no surprise to see her coming
I heard her claws across the floorboards
The low throat growl, howl and heckles
It's no surprise to see her coming on

One day in Bologna, hot and dry
I catch a glimpse of something to the side
She pins me to a fountain, sets her hips
Looks me up and down, licks her lips

When she finished I was left for dead
With no money, clothes or roof over my head
But I enjoyed the madness, nonetheless
Now I've got to track that vixen down
She don't move like the rest

No surprise to see her coming
I heard her claws across the floorboards
The low throat growl, howl and heckles
It's no surprise to see her coming on
