The shutters close when he's around
The children shut their eyes in fear of what they must surmise
When all the gentlemen hang their heads down, down, down
Yeah Mr. Usher's on his way to town
He keeps his sights set straight and true
His idle hands wont flit or flutter
Never does he slip or stutter
Still his mind is menacing away
Yeah Mr. Usher's on the prowl today
He needn't dirty up his hands
He'll twist your heart until you're manic
Lost in endless streams of panic
Pray you're not the one he finds
If Mr. Usher's got you on his mind
Any time a plan will get a bit off track
He's the only one who can bring it back
The main manipulator yeah the wolf who leads the pack
You better lock your doors and shut your windows tight
Pull the shades down and turn off the lights
Always be the hand that meets the teeth that bite
Because if he has no use for you
He'll take you to the river
Take you to the river
He'll have you hanging by a string
Or noose if he prefers you perish
All your dreams become nightmarish
If you block his path or plan
Yeah Mr. Usher always gets his man
Yeah Mr. Usher always gets his man
Yeah Mr. Usher always gets his man
