Radiohead - Hail To The Thief (2003) - Wolf At The Door lyrics

  • Drag him out the window
    dragging out your dead
    singing i miss you
    snakes and ladders
    flip the lid
    out pops the cracker
    smacks you in the head
    knifes you in the neck
    kicks you in the teeth
    steel toe caps
    takes all your credit cards
    step up get the gunge
    get the eggs
    get the flan in the face
    the flan in the face
    the flan in the face
    dance you fucker dance you fucker
    don't you dare
    don't you dare
    don't you flan in the face
    take it with the love its given
    take it with a pinch of salt
    take it to the taxman
    let me back let me back
    i promise to be good
    don't look in the mirror
    at the face you don't recognize
    help me call the doctor
    put me inside
    put me inside
    put me inside
    put me inside
    put me inside

    i keep the wolf from the door
    but he calls me up
    calls me on the phone
    tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
    steal all my children
    if i don't pay the ransom
    but i'll never see him again
    if i squeal to the cops

    walking like a giant crane and
    with my x ray eyes i strip you naked
    in a tight little world and are you on the list?
    stepford wives who are we to complain?
    investments and dealers investments and dealers
    cold wives and mistresses.
    cold wives and sunday papers.
    city boys in 1st class
    don't know we're born
    just know someone else is gonna come and clean it up
    born and raised for the job
    oh I wish you'd get up
    go over get up go over and turn this tape off.

    i keep the wolf from the door
    but he calls me up
    calls me on the phone
    tells me all the ways that hes gonna mess me up
    steal all my children
    if i don't pay the ransom
    but i'll never see him again
    if i squeal to the cops
