The Fox — текст песни (Electric Light Orchestra)

I wait till everyones asleep

Then out into the night I creep

No one can see me now

Or hear me running, soundlessly



The moons the only light I need

To search for food, young ones to feed

But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my ways not clear

Im trapped on the outside



Moonlight save me, moonlight save me

Moonlight save me, moonlight save me



Unearthly fear, it grips my skin

Unearthly sound, the hunt begins

I hear excited cries

But dare not look from where Im hiding



The multi-coloured humans ride

Soon they will find me where I hide

The brown and white tormentors

Begin to howl and then Im running



Moonlight save me



I cut across the trail I left five miles before

One chance to throw them off my scent but Im not sure

An elder told me it had worked sometime before



My heart is beating like a drum

I make the ridge, but cant go on

I turn to face my death

But nothing comes to stop me breathing



Down in the clearing now I see

Theyre searching all around for me

Confusion everywhere

But I am safe up here, Ive won, Ive won, Ive won, Ive won, Ive won
