At Night

If you go for a walk at night Be prepared to put up a fight Be prepared to shoot at first sight If you go for a walk at night If you choose to walk in the dark Might be best to avoid the park Might be best if your shadow’s stark If you choose to walk in the dark If you walk along moonlit streets Just avoid any midnight tweets Just avoid any meet n greets If you walk along moonlit streets If at night you walk tall and proud Just remember there's no ‘in’ crowd Just remember to not be loud If at night you walk tall and proud If you walk for that other life Seek your daughter, your son and wife Seek them though they may bring you strife If you walk for that other life If you walk when you’re lamplight lit Keep in mind that they’re likely bit Keep your gun and rely on it If you walk when you’re lamplight lit But… If you walk to avoid the sun Walking only when day is done Walking aimlessly with that gun If you walk to avoid the sun If you stumble and fall at night Did you suffer a rabid bite Did your muscles and skin grow tight If you stumble and fall at night If you walk at night, sufferin’ Might the sight of them make you grin Might you find your gun neath your chin If you walk at night, sufferin’ Normal people don’t walk at night Only those who have felt the bite Only those who now shun the light Normal people don’t walk at night * That’s the reason I walk at night Hiding works the best in plain sight Hiding like I might share their plight That’s the reason I walk at night So I went for a walk at night Looked for hidey holes, left and right Looked and found them and they’re alright Cos I went for a walk at night But we need to walk home this night Making plans to stay close and tight Making plans to see new daylight But we need to walk home this night…
