    Story Behind the Song
    Written after getting robbed...my car got broken into and it made me think of all sorts of crimes that begin with a person stalking out a mark or victim.

    The song begins with an intro overlayed by the sound of boots walking down a wet alley.
    The body of the song is vocals and I tried to get a siren sound from the guitar. It ends with a "Aw, lookout" borrowed from The Beatles Abbey Road song: "She came in through the bathroom window." The song ends with a somewhat out of control layered feedback guitar...an angry repeat of the lyrics in a way but sonically.

    Lyrics
    The Stalker

    A man is walkin up the street and you dont know what tdo
    You could look away from him but hes got his eye on you
    Hes tall, dark and ugly and he wants all that you own
    He makes you wanna run away and hide out in your home

    Hes the Stalker

    You got bars on your windows, dead-bolt on your door
    Youd put a pad-lock on yourself if thatd even up the score
    A pen-knife in your pocket, a club is in your car
    A pepper spray to save the day when he finds out where you are

    Hes the Stalker

    Hes stalkin with a screwdriver to break open your locks
    Hes stalkin with a nose for fear - slyer than a fox
    Hes got an eye for weakness and money in your suit
    Youve gotta dress like you blend in your bucks rolled in your boot

    Hes the Stalker

    Hell wait til youre not lookin, hell wait until youre out
    Hell climb up on your fire escape to see what youre all about
    Hell lurk out in the shadows, hunched down in the dark
    He knows the place to climb the fence - over where the dogs dont bark

    Hes the Stalker

    He knows the time when you come in, he knows when you leave the house
    He knows the places that youve been so he knows just when to pounce
    Hell make sure that youre all alone, sleepin by yourself
    Hell cut the wires of your phone so you cant call out for help

    Hes the Stalker

    Well, a mugging takes a stalker, some bad luck and a gun
    A burglary is what you see when The Stalker has his fun
    Stalker is a killer if he stabs you with his knife
    Dont you lose your headjust might lose your life

    Hes the Stalker
    (Aw, lookout)
    Hes the Stalker
