Lyrics

Her face caught in the headlamp glare
There waiting for a ride
Stood all alone - so far from home
He beckons her inside
A smile that has two meanings -
Slips his fat hand to her knee
But swiftly learns how quick to turn this woman scorned can be

Her flesh was all he wanted -
But his blood was what she got
And did he dream of scenes x-rated
When she showed him salem's lot?
Now the hunted is the hunter
With a heart as cold as steel
See the empty rear view mirror showing
Catherine at the wheel

Down in the park - just after dark
Girl crying 'neath a tree
Begs "can you help please mister? - mummy left and forgot me."
"My, you're out late my dear" exclaims the shabby, strange old man
Who hidden in the bushes finds a lion in his lamb

She's a killer with a conscience -
And a bite too sharp to feel
This child sat on the roundabout is catherine at the wheel

And if you could you'd kill them twice -
How sweet revenge can be
'Gainst those you've sent to that place with no fury next to thee

Her flesh was all they wanted -
But their blood was what she got
And did they dream of scenes x-rated
When she showed them salem's lot?
She's a killer with a conscience -
And a heart as cold as steel
She's the hunter not the hunted -
With a bite too sharp to feel
Her flesh was all they wanted -
But their blood was what she got
And did they dream of scenes x-rated
When she showed them salem's lot?

Catherine's at the wheel
