Pouncing in front

Pouncing in front

Beware; beware of all ‘A’ and ‘B’ roads that are mapped
Even gateways and side tracks are set and trapped
Routes you take in missing each car queuing motorway
Beware; beware for there is a beast awaiting its prey
No matter where you stray or which way you go
It matters not a jot whether you travel to or fro
They still have you tracked using their own secret code
Pouncing in front of you, blocking a once open road
You’re never ever safe for they all work together, one team
As you slow behind them they trap you with a tractor beam
