Gatekeeper Beast vol. 2

(grrr) Yeah,

front porch locked down Don't even reach for that gate latch (woof)

Paws on the gravel,

ears pinned back Watching every tire rolling down the cul-de-sac Family inside

sleeping peaceful in their beds One step across the grass and you're

leaving with no treads I don't bark twice,

I don't give a warning growl Silver chain jingling,

queen of the prowl Try the front door,

you won't make it to the floor That's my house,

homie, and I settle every score

Gate locked tight, jaws stay locked Touch the latch,

body gets dropped (bow wow) They don't worry 'bout a thing in

the night

When the yard dog's waiting in the porchlight

Yeah,

step inside the perimeter you done

Four legs moving, ain't nowhere to run

Saw a shadow by the lilac hedge at two AM Creeping past

the driveway, thinking you could stem Hit the sprint,

silent runner on the pine needles Crushing trespassing dreams like dried beetles

Left him right by the welcome mat cold Protector of the bloodline,

fearless and bold Sun comes up,

licking hands through the screen Sweetest family pet that you ever seen

Gate locked tight, jaws stay locked Touch the latch,

body gets dropped (bow wow) They don't worry 'bout a thing in

the night

When the yard dog's waiting in the porchlight

Yeah,

step inside the perimeter you done

Four legs moving, ain't nowhere to run

Soft fur, head resting on the kid's lap

Until someone rattles that chain link trap (shhh) Don't let the tail

wag fool you at all Cross this threshold,

watch another trespasser fall

Gate locked tight, jaws stay locked Touch the latch,

body gets dropped (bow wow!) They don't worry 'bout a thing in

the night

When the yard dog's waiting in the porchlight

Yeah,

step inside the perimeter you done

Four legs moving, ain't nowhere to run

Good girl...

Yeah, keep the gate shut. (growl)

All clear till morning.
