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 I know it wasn't just my mind
You know the foolkiller's coming
Uh-huh, he gettin' closer every day
Don't you know the foolkiller's coming
I'm gonna try to make my getaway
I've been living in this concrete anthill
Scraping and scrubbing for that dollar bill
Eight million people living on a brink
There ain't no time to stop and think
You know the foolkiller's coming
Uh-huh, I do believe it's true
Girl, I said the foolkiller's coming
I think he got his eye on me and you
Now, if you never been a fool
Then you don't have to worry
But if you have
You better get in a hurry
And just to be on the safe side
Get yourself a little place to hide
You know the foolkiller's coming
Lord, I do believe it's true
I see the foolkiller coming
And I know he got his eye on me and you
I've been living in this concrete anthill
I'm scraping and scrubbing for that dollar bill
Eight million people living on a brink
And there ain't no time to stop and think
You know the foolkiller's coming
Lord, he's getting closer every day
Don't you see the foolkiller coming
I gonna try to make my getaway
Now, if you never been a fool
Then you don't have to worry
But if you have
You better get in a hurry
And just to be on the safe side
Seek yourself a little place to hide
You know, the foolkiller's coming
Lord, I do believe it's true
Can't you see the foolkiller's coming
I know he got his eye on me and you
Yeah, you know, the foolkiller's coming, all right
Just the other night
I got a funny feeling
That things weren't right
I heard some heavy footsteps right behind
And I know it wasn't just my mind
You know the foolkiller's coming
Uh-huh, he gettin' closer every day
Don't you know the foolkiller's coming
I'm gonna try to make my getaway
