Mr. Usher (On His Way to Town) - The Dear Hunter

The shutters close when he’s around

The children shut their eyes in fear of what they must surmise

When all the gentlemen hang their heads down, down, down

Yeah Mr. Usher’s on his way to town

He keeps his sights set straight and true

His idle hands wont flit or flutter

Never does he slip or stutter

Still his mind is menacing away

Yeah Mr. Usher’s on the prowl today

He needn’t dirty up his hands

He’ll twist your heart until you’re manic

Lost in endless streams of panic

Pray you’re not the one he finds

If Mr. Usher’s got you on his mind

Any time a plan will get a bit off track

He’s the only one who can bring it back

The main manipulator yeah the wolf who leads the pack

You better lock your doors and shut your windows tight

Pull the shades down and turn off the lights

Always be the hand that meets the teeth that bite

Because if he has no use for you

He’ll take you to the river

Take you to the river

He’ll have you hanging by a string

Or noose if he prefers you perish

All your dreams become nightmarish

If you block his path or plan

Yeah Mr. Usher always gets his man

Yeah Mr. Usher always gets his man

Yeah Mr. Usher always gets his man
