Cover art for Werewolf (Michael Hurley cover) lyrics by Cat Power

I really like this song. I think that she isn't necessarily describing an actual werewolf, but just any person who is misunderstood and is only seen for their poor qualities. She then goes and says that one should have sympathy for 'monsters' since underneath, they really are just lonely people too.
