Why are we running We run because of the need to feed To provide for our offspring's after the breed I stalk you from a far Picking out the weak, got you in my sights Our speed makes you wish you were more camouflage in the brush Already upon you in a rush Kicking up dust Startled you Slowed your reflex's just enough Usually a solo hunter But there's an extra pair of 8 feet running next to me Hunting tactics in synch Chasing you through the dusty plains I run you in their direction So they can sweep you off your feet Like a midnight affair As they sink their claws into your legs I watch as your body and the ground meets   I circle you panting while they hold you at bay The white in your eyes show You know you've become prey Waiting for you to stretch your neck out for a second wind Then ill strike and put this battle to a end
