Hide Me

Checks locks three times 

Turns, pads down hallway, seven steps

Stops

Back at the door, checks locks, four times

Oh sinnerman, where you gonna run to?

---

By the bed, starts to strip

Folds clothes, one at a time, smooths out wrinkles

Shirt, trousers, boxers left on

Brushes teeth, eight strokes, nine

Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?

---

Knocks on the door, red door, five times...

Fingers on trigger, steals through the dark

Toes curl against cold, fifteen steps

Will never be taken by surprise again

---

Ran to the devil, he was waitin' 

All on that day

Sinnerman you oughta be prayin'
