lyrics

we are the sneakers
we're hiding in the night
we're putting out the lights
one by one

we are the sneakers
we watch you live your lives
we're sharpening our knives
just for fun

and when the sun comes up
we rest our heads
'neath the streets of your fair town

we are the sneakers
we're hiding in the night
we're listening as you're whispering
on the phone

we are the sneakers
we slip into your room
you never should assume
that you're alone
for when the sun goes down
if you should close your eyes
you know we'll come for you

then we cut
we cut
we cut, cut, cut, cut, cut

we are the sneakers
we slide beneath your doors
we click across your floors
while you dream

we are the sneakers
we slip into your bed
we kiss your precious head

and when the sun goes down
if you should close your eyes
you know we'll come for you

then we cut
we cut
we cut, cut, cut, cut, cut
