Seems like only yesterday
The ship on autopilot.
A speeding bullet, that seems to be barely moving
Lying in a naked woman's arms
Reading a message from another, 
who has fallen for his charms

He's stalking me she says…
Still loves me he says…
Threatening to hurt me she says…
Apologizes, it's driving me crazy he says 

What can I do?
He wants me and I want you

He's not even remotely interested in her pain
She's not the quarry.
He's hunting bigger game

So he replies with a simple note.
After all, 
To catch a tiger one needs a goat.

Don't speak to him at all my dear
Silence is golden
Say nothing and nothing he'll hear
Simply refuse to throw the dog a bone
Turn your back and…
It'll leave you alone.

Close your eyes and let the power 
consume you again.
Come to me!
Leave the psychotic Casanova imitator
hanging from his knee
Two weeks from today, I'll be in your town
Just for you baby.
Please come down.

He signs off with a smirk, as chilling 
as a dart.
She'll come and he'll follow.
He owns her fluttering heart.

And when she does they will both pay.
She's the bait…
Romeo is the prey.

From galaxy to galaxy
No exceptions
They're all expendable you see
Any good hunter knows…
The fishing is best, when done from a boat
And…
To catch a tiger, you need a goat

The ship continues to dance and sing
Deep in it's belly, a terrified woman
kisses a mythical ring
Somewhere, someplace, a lonely man is in much pain
And…
A daemon sleeps and waxes insane
Prey
Are you?
