The Fox Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

I wait till everyone's asleep 

Then out into the night I creep 

No one can see me now 

Or hear me running, soundlessly 

The moon's the only light I need 

To search for food, young ones to feed 

But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my ways not clear 

I'm trapped on the outside 

Moonlight save me, moonlight save me 

Moonlight save me, moonlight save me 

Unearthly fear, it grips my skin 

Unearthly sound, the hunt begins 

I hear excited cries 

But dare not look from where I'm hiding 

The multi-colored humans ride 

Soon they will find me where I hide 

The brown and white tormentors 

Begin to howl and then I'm running 

Moonlight save me 

I cut across the trail I left five miles before 

One chance to throw them off my scent but I'm not sure 

An elder told me it had worked sometime before 

My heart is beating like a drum 

I make the ridge but can't go on 

I turn to face my death 

But nothing comes to stop me breathing 

Down in the clearing now I see 

They're searching all around for me 

Confusion everywhere 

But I am safe up here, I've won 

I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won
