The Prey Lyrics
You're from out of town
I can tell that by your shoes
Flew in for the convention
Getting tipsy in a bar
You're leaving pretty late
Gotta get up in the morning
Thinking she's just too expensive
And you know you're...
Probably...
Right
There's no one on the streets
And you can't find your hotel
You walk a little faster - someone's following you
The wallet-size bulge
In you double-knit butt
Has money for me
And maybe credit cards
You dart around the next corner
You can't look around
Quick now, fish for the keys for the door
You don't even know where you are
You walk a little faster
I walk a little faster
Sensing that I sense you
Now there's no escape
I can almost taste your dandruff
As I reach out for your face - and I strike!
I can tell that by your shoes
Flew in for the convention
Getting tipsy in a bar
You're leaving pretty late
Gotta get up in the morning
Thinking she's just too expensive
And you know you're...
Probably...
Right
There's no one on the streets
And you can't find your hotel
You walk a little faster - someone's following you
The wallet-size bulge
In you double-knit butt
Has money for me
And maybe credit cards
You dart around the next corner
You can't look around
Quick now, fish for the keys for the door
You don't even know where you are
You walk a little faster
I walk a little faster
Sensing that I sense you
Now there's no escape
I can almost taste your dandruff
As I reach out for your face - and I strike!

Amazing song. Minimal and low-key, with a highly disturbing narrative...
"You walk a little faster I walk a little faster"
One of the two out and out creepy Dead Kennedys tunes (penned by Jello, that is) with "Saturday Night Holocaust". There are quite a few creepy/funny DK songs, but excluding 6025's stuff (even then...), most of them are more funny than unnerving. But when they did their B-sides, they really had some fun with their experimental side.
Neat song.... its probably about a stalker/killer/thief. It proves that the Dead Kennedys can do more than punk.
creepy creepy song... love it.
this scares me. lots. i shit myself the first time i heard jello say
"and i STRIKE!"
Saturday Night Holocaust isn't a creep-out song, dummy. It's standard-DK political satire set in a dystopia, like a lot of their stuff. Plus it's got a standard punk riff for about a quarter of the song, which this doesn't.
