Stalking Songtext
von Bruce McCulloch

On the street, maybe a bookstore, someone bumps into someone playfully

Woman: (laughing)
Man: You again!
Woman: Are you following me?
Man: Why? No, I′m stalking you
Woman: (laughing) Oh! (laughing) Oh, really?
Man: Yeah
Woman: The neighbors have been saying there was a man with a
Slightly-crazed yet focused demeanor standing for
A long time in my hedge, neck pivoted to my window
Man: Yep! That's me!
Woman: (laughing) Well, good. Great!
Man: Great!


Woman: Well, it′s good to finally meet you!
Man: Nice to finally meet you
Woman: So... How ya been?
Man: Oh, pretty good. Same old same-old
Woman: I, uh, guess you're not gonna ask me how I've been
Man: ′Cause...
Woman: ′Cause you've been watching me
Man: I′ve been watching you, yeah. A lot!

Woman: Right. So, what'cha been up to?
Man: Oh, you know, not too much. The stalking keeps me pretty busy
Woman: Huh
Man: And, actually
I′ve got a bit of a cold right now 'cause
It′s really lousy weather for... stalking

Woman: Can I ask you one question?
Man: Shoot!
Woman: Why are you stalking me?
Man: Because you are the one. You are the unspoiled virgin bride
You are the blonde canvas on which I will paint my future
Don't you remember, you smiled at me once in the Croissant Tree?
We never spoke. We didn't have to. You chose me
Now I stand outside your window, waiting. I stand there and
When you go to sleep, I become calm
I can feel my heartbeat slow down
And beat... just... like... yours


Woman: Oh!
Man: Yeah, it′s...
Woman: (laughing) I can...
Man: Yeah, uh...
Woman: Perfectly clear...
Man: Yeah, anyway... Well...
Woman: See ya!
Man: Happy shopping!
Woman: Oh, thanks. And happy stalking!
Man: Thanks. Nice bumping into you...
Woman: See you around!

Man: Yeah. Hey, you changed your answering machine code, eh?
Woman: My co... My code? Yeah
Man: Yeah
Woman: I... I have to get going now
Man: Oh. Okay, sure
Woman: ′Cause someone's waiting...
Man: Cool. Cool. Nice meeting you... That went well, hmm...
