Eddie From Ohio - Red Footprints lyrics

he stalked each night in rubber soles prowling for a lead silhouettes on window blinds were all he'd ever need a credit card away from breaking in the laundry room nothing now could squelch his plot our character a**umed upon his entry to the room he tried to be discreet but then he felt a tacky rug beneath his cautious feet ignoring this he didn't read the landlord's sign that said caution - wet paint on the floor - a coat of crimson red strangler of baltimore the odds were on your side even in the tiny towns it's effortless to hide call it fate or justice or the payback of your pray but those bright red footprints will always give you away he peeled his shoes along the hall to basement flat 2-b no need to knock the doors unlocked he opens gingerly an e flat string away from stealing the flight attendant's breath the b-town sun can set their press for one more tragic d**h strangler of baltimore you thought there was no trace like a lightning bolt you never strike a once struck place call it fate or justice or the payback of your prey but those bright red footprints will always give you away he did b-town a favor when he gave police a tip he drew a dotted line to remind them of his trip our men are on his trail the chief inspector said before he'd hit his snooze alarm they cuffed him in his bed CHORUS
