you are walking


you are walking
on the wrong side of town
late at night
with an bone-dry gasoline can
you are walking
take a good look around
silent as a soldier
following commands

a little bit faster now
a little less noise
you can be a bastard now
if you have to make the choice

you didn't think,
driving in this morning.
to fill up the tank
the way you should
if you had listened 
to your father's warning
you wouldn't find yourself
in this neighborhood

a little more quiet now
be careful where you move
go ahead and try it now
the night will improve
