Lyrics

Nature of Threat

It’s coming with a smile

It’s careful preparations

It’s coming coming with a smile

But watching it years ago

I wanted to take my time

And you can hear me coming

Rub your hands together. (x8)

Your chance is coming up. (x11)

It’s coming with a smile

It’s careful preparations

It’s coming with a smile

But watching it years ago

I wanted to take my time you

And you can hear me coming

And you can hear me coming

Rub your hands together. (x12)
