I’m the most vicious of all animals
And I hunt in the dark.
You can’t catch me because I’m fast as lightning sparks.
I love a lot of meat
Animals are my prey.
I don’t have any problems until the end of the day.
Yeah,
I’m a mystery.
Trying to be the best in history.
Yeah,
I’m supposed to be the best animal
I could possibly be.
Hold up, let me tell you a little more about myself.
Yeah,
I’m the alpha of my pack
And as a matter of fact,
I’m always ready to attack.
Barking and howling to warn my friends
Hoping they will have a chance to live another day
Stalking for prey.
This is the way I act every day.
Howl…
