At The Drive-in - No Wolf Like the Present lyrics

In a safe house he baits Can you blame the conniving Bludgeoned by the prowler cars He’s been running since the day That they tagged his skin A walking cypher kicking calendars He hears the sirens He hears his song play everyday From Potemkin malls Where the winds erase They use our past to evict us In a land that stole A kestrel from the knave Smothered inmates full at capacity He hears the sirens He hears his song play everyday It’s open season check the body can There’s no wolf like the present They own your history Scrap it for parts There’s no wolf like the present Of Insignificance Tantivy run He’s been on the law so long He knows the rules of the hunt Carving Xs into bullets for luck While the veneer of civilization grinds Light bulbs into his food supply He hears the sirens He hears his song play everyday It’s open season check the body cans There’s no wolf like the present They own your history Scrap it for parts There’s no wolf like the present Of Insignificance Tantivy run
