Follow That Man

You take one part Buddha And two parts cat Run them through your computer And that's where he's at Some say he's ruthless And some say he's a saint They tell you he's innocent I tell you he aint I hear him think I follow his flight I'd know that footstep In the darkest of nights I follow that man He's a creature of stealth Don't run with the mob Won't stop at nothing Till he finishes the job I hear him out there laughing When he knows I'm closing in I feel the desperation Of the fool within He's like your shadow You can stop it dead But when you go to take him He's a step ahead I follow that man I follow from a distance As he appears Between the darkness and the light Meeted curtains part He takes a drink He takes a smoke Takes a paper He takes me along for the ride I snatch his bag We go deeper Into the quarter Through a rain slaked dampness into an alley The smell of garbage and perfume Brick by brick His woman meets me But it doesn't matter Anyway, whose chasing who I'm just holding the bag I hear him out there laughing When he knows I'm closing in I feel the desperation I hear him think I follow his flight I'd know that footstep In the darkest of nights I follow that man I follow that man I watch him smoke I watch him drink I follow that man I follow that man
