Lyrics by Chris Cornell. Music by Kim Thayil. . They saw you yesterday as you were leaving. Now they run to hunt you down. Dogs lead the chase as you are bleeding. They run to hunt you down. . Your narrow escape has wiped the smile from your face. Starved dogs howling run to hunt you down. . You smile as you look in the mirror. Tears have left your eyes. Your face has a different Exterior. Permanent disguise. . Your narrow escape has wiped the smile right from your face. Starved dogs howling run to hunt you down.
