Werewolves

Johnny walks the square on high

He'd been splitting people's sides

Snow is coming down on a weeknight

Echoes of the audience

Melting into loneliness

A full moon sends a shift down Johnny's spine

Johnny eyes a wool coat heading

Back from class and to her bed as

Fog across the village blurs the arch

Walks turn into sprints and cries

Are piercing ears, his claws dig in

The blood will wash away but not the scar

And these werewolves howling their werewolf cries

Are running wild into the night

And these werewolves walk among us in daylight

But a werewolf's still a mother's child

And if there's still a boy inside

Do we fight the curse or do we just exile?

Years ago in Johnny's youth

Heart-broke walking home school

Johnny heard a pack of boys call out

They were roughing up another kid

And yearning for companionship

Johnny showed his teeth and joined the crowd

Yeah a beast doesn't feel pain

Yeah a beast just turns away

Oh what a man will do

Yeah these werewolves killing their werewolf prey

Are taking up all the headlines

Are these werewolves dying out or here to stay?

And a werewolf's still a mother's child

And if they still got love inside

Do we fight the curse or do we just exile?

Johnny he's a boy inside but sometimes he's a werewolf yeah

Sometimes there's a boy inside and sometimes there's a werewolf yeah

Johnny he's a boy inside but sometimes he's a werewolf yeah

Sometimes there's a boy inside and sometimes there's a werewolf yeah
