Close your eyes and pretend I'm not here.

Sneaking around in the dark like a raccoon.

Better luck next time with your plan.

You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man.

I'll be hiding in the shadows.

It's too late to go get help.

You'll never know that it was me.

Lock your doors and throw away the key.

Find your safe space and leave the goods.

Get out while you still have a chance.

This could be the end for you.

Don't make it harder for yourself.

Leave now or forever hold your tongue.
