The Lurker
by Jon Eric
I guess it won't really matter if I'm not around
And there's no real point in living in a quiet town
It's a shame that there's not enough room on the stage
That the slats are getting creaky with age
And no one is prepared; the script is just a blank page
We're fumbling through
(chorus)
I've been watching
I've been waiting
But I never got the courage up to say things
So I stand tall
I'm my own man
But now nobody knows who I am
And that's all right with me
For some people, being heard is what matters most
But I don't mind watching like a silent ghost
Oh well, if other people get overzealous
Or attention gets some other folks jealous
If the storm will ever stop, the weatherman can't tell us
And neither can you
(chorus)
And that's all right with me
We are the city's blood and beating heart
We've taken care of it from the start
We've let it go to seed, and when the system falls apart
What will you do?
(chorus minus last line)
I've been watching
I've waiting
For a halfway decent reason I should say things
I don't mind it
This was my plan
'Cause nobody here knows who I am
Huh

THE LURKER
by Burnzi
Whenever he’s right, it must be wrong
He sticks his nose in, where it don’t belong
When I’m at a bar, he wants to smoke and drink till dawn
He screws up just for kicks
He don’t give a shit
He’s the lurker
Hiding in my brain
Thinks my lifes a game
You know what I’m say’in
He’s the lurker
That crazy voice inside
Waiting for the time
To swim against the tide
I tried to run away, I tried to shake this guy
He’s like an uninvited guest who shows up everytime
You can’t reason with him, he only sees his side
He’s the guy who never wins
But I can’t get rid of him
He’s the lurker
Hiding in my brain
Thinks my lifes a game
You know what I’m say’in
He’s the lurker
That crazy voice inside
Waiting for the time
To swim against the tide
And I keep thinking that he’s just a bad dream
But he’s like looking in the mirror
All I see is me
He’s the lurker
Hiding in my brain
He thinks my life’s a game
You know what I’m say’in
He’s the lurker
That crazy voice inside
Waiting for the time
Running against the tide
He’s the lurker
He’s the lurker,
He’s the lurker,
He’s the lurker

It's in the hole! It's in the hole!!

Re: The Lurker
The Lurker
words and noises by glennny
I stood outside your window
and waited for you to notice me
it took all night
there really is no reason to be alarmed
I mean no harm
I just wanted to watch you for a while
Lurker, Im a big jerk
with a smirk upon my face
I'm working up the courage
to work on something soon
when I think of it
I'll blow your mind
I can't deny my interest
I want to join your community
and do it right
it's easy to lose the meaning
misunderstood, intentions good
I just wanted to acclimate your style

Re: The Lurker
Nick Soma - The Lurker
Part II of the Celina Flanaghan Tetralogy
Let me introduce myself, they call me the Lurker
That's 'cause I'm mostly just lurkin' around
I usually don't do no harm, but I know my kind of charm
Can cause a quake that cracks open the ground
I was watchin' from a tree, as I often tend to do,
Criminal activities goin' on far down below
They seem to have a plan that might change the fate of man
In a suitcase that I don't even know
Then I saw you - BAM!
And I kind of fell in love
As your pink shawl fluttered in the breeze
And I noticed the confused
Expression on your face
That only a professional lurker sees
So let me help you out, why don't you tell me of your plight?
What, so you were tortured by those freaks the other night?
I understand your deep desire for retaliation
So let's take revenge and it will shake this entire nation
I think that I can help you out,
I know a gifted witch.
She'll brew a magic potion,
She's called the Obnoxious Bitch
Obnoxious Bitch, she's got exactly what you need
To make those crooks underneath the forest bleed
Obnoxious Bitch, she's gonna help you, you will see,
Meanwhile I'll just be watchin' from a tree
Celina, my sweet little girl
Celina, her wrath is gonna unfurl
Celina, I think I've fallen in love
She must have been sent by the heavens above
Oh, the Obnoxious Bitch, she's got exactly what you need
To make those crooks underneath the forest bleed
Obnoxious Bitch, she's gonna help you, you will see,
Meanwhile I'll just be lurkin' from a tree

The Lurker
words by Ken & Martin
music by Berkeley Social Scene
I see you hanging around random corners
So I think I better warn you
You aren’t really much of a charmer
stay clear of the hot water
you’re always around when I don’t need you
it takes so little attention to feed you
You’re there but no one notices
It’s some kind of hypnosis
You don’t have good motives
why are you so hopeless
you’re always around when I don’t need you
it takes so little attention to feed you
Oh in plain sight
The lurker hides and waits
Oh in the shadows aside
The lurker hides and waits
you’re always around when I don’t need you
it takes so little attention to feed you

The Lurker
by High Density
I gaze upon the man I love
Seen from 13 feet above
His head is glinting in the morning light
Like a beacon for a ship at night
I invest
In only the best
I've learned controls
I've passed the test
From overhead
Just a high-pitched whine
She may be his
But he’s still mine
With HD 720p
It's just like I'm there again
I can 802.11n him
Back to where I am
Cuz I invest
In only the best
I've learned controls
I've passed the test
From overhead
Just a high-pitched whine
She may be his
But he’s still mine
No time to wait
Or hesitate
Oh what the hell
They just looked up
Before the state
Can regulate
I need to get
One close-up
My battery life is almost gone
It’s useless, so I'm moving on
But I’ll be back for another go
When software reaches 3.0
Cuz I invest
In only the best
I've learned controls
I've passed the test
From overhead
Just a high-pitched whine
She may be his

Hey little girl, I know you're not a girl
You're a full-blown woman I could tell
When you walked in the club. Oooo, shit
None of these other girls tonight look as available as you; and I like that
And I'm available too
Hey little girl, I know you got the itch
And you're a high-class bitch
Like you stepped out of a Supre commercial
I'm a good looking man
And you bitches like that
We gonna shine like 9 ct. gold - this feeling is infectious
So moist and tropical
Dangerous and decadent, like Malibu and cola la la la la la la
Lurking. It ain't illegal if it's working.
Hey little girl, I know you like jewellery
I got my own jewellery too, I see you staring at the band round my ankle
Don't be afraid, girl; it means I'm freaky like you
We gonna dance all nite, slow and sexual
Take you to a fancy hotel
Park around the back, next to the dumpsters
Freak you on the hood of my Gucci Seville
We gonna shine like 9ct. gold
Slippery and smooth, girl
Like Egyptian cotton blend
Luxurious and sexual la la la la la la la
Lurking; it ain't illegal if it's working
