"Hunt You Down" lyrics - SLEATER-KINNEY

Hey, get ready
I've been down so long, I pay rent to the floor
I'm reelin', out of sorts, I'm unsteady
Been crawlin' 'round here for days in hopes the walls open up
And give way, call me home
I forgive you, I wish I'd told you so
Nowhere for the words to go, with what's left of me
I'll send your ashes my love

[Chorus:]
The thing you fear the most will
Hunt you down
The thing you fear the most will
Hunt you down

[Post-Chorus:]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

I'm locking the room, I'm not ready
Sorrow hides outside the door disguised as luck
It looks me in the eye, it seems to know me
It's got your shoes and dress, and coat, and says, "We're going"
We're goin' to the road and to the edge
If I follow you, then tell me that you'll stay

[Chorus:]
The thing you fear the most will
Hunt you down (Hunt you down)
The thing you fear the most will
Hunt you down (Hunt you down)
The thing you fear the most will
Hunt you down

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
The thing you fear the most will
Hunt you down
The thing you fear the most will
Hunt you down

[Post-Chorus:]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

[Outro:]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
