Hunters & Collectors - Ladyk**er lyrics

Across a crowded room The lone wolf was weaving his magic Casting his spell he blew the competition away He was a monster of seduction On a glorious trail of destruction Well his youth burned hard, he was a true bird of prey He twitched like a peaco*k as he put himself on display Well he carried a grand illusion He worked himself into a state of confusion As he drank in the hope that his princess would come one day She was still hangin' round and the boys had all tried With the old hip and shoulder he pushed them aside But his fingers are trembling As he fumbles through the foreplay tonight Yeah he's still a true ladyk**er down to the bone From door to door he blunders like a travelling salesman Stokin' the fire he's out there doin' his homework again But he can face just so much rejection He's only searching for love and affection But he carries his tail ‘tween his legs like a wounded man As he drank to the final solution He sank into himself like a stone It was guaranteed to drown the confusion But he's still weaving between the tables tonight God's gift is a terrible sight But he's still a true ladyk**er down to the last time he loved She went straight to the heart Whoever she was she had the best of part That part of himself that he longed to forgive How he longed to remember and he longed to relive… But somewhere sometime somebody cares In the meantime he dithers on half baked affairs Yeah they come and go like ships in a storm And he wallows like a wreck in the wake of their scorn Yeah the girls are all leaving now But he scrambles for that last little bit on the run Then it's back to the nest when the k**ing is done Yeah he's still a true ladyk**er down to the bone.
