I was walking down a back street just the other night

I got a funny feeling that things weren't right

I heard some heavy footsteps right behind

And no, it wasn't just in my mind

The fool killer's coming

He's getting closer every day

Oh yes, the fool killer's coming

I got to try to make my getaway

I've been living in this concrete ant hill

Scraping and scrapping for that dollar bill

Eight million people living on the brink

Got no time to stop and think

The fool killer's coming

I do believe it's true

Oh well, the fool killer's coming

I think he's got his eye on me and you

If you've never been a fool then you don't have to worry

If you know you have, better get in a hurry

Just to be on the safe side

Get yourself a place to hide

Because the fool killer's coming

He's getting closer every day

The fool killer's coming

I got to try to make my getaway
