[Verse 1]
Please stay inside the house tonight, Dolores
Lately there's been violence in the streets
The moon is full, but hearts are dark, Dolores
Danger in every stranger you meet

[Verse 2]
There's a killer in the neighborhood, Dolores
A man who sees a girl and goes berserk
And you're just the kind of woman that he preys on
And my mind stays so upset, it's hard to work

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
While I'm working nights, I'm making my collections
A few quarters for insurance every week
Sometimеs I can hardly find directions
For fear some harm may fall you on thе street

[Verse 4]
The paper says the slayer struck another
Even now the law is searching for a clue
And they've called me to identify your body
Dolores, how could I know that it was you?
[Outro]
If you'd stayed inside the house tonight, Dolores
Mhm, mm-hmm-hmm-hmm, mhm-hmm-hmm
Mhm, mm-hmm-hmm-hmm, mhm-hmm-hmm...
