Dark Matters - Propagandhi

Another day of life

I was drifting off in thought

But I can’t escape this nightmare very long

Young girls, they flag the Johns

Who troll the block in circles

Waiting for their moment to take the plunge

All of us, crossing paths

We’re all in the same place but it seems

We’re living in parallel worlds

I try to imagine

The predator’s stinking breath

His body against mine

The foulness when he’s spent

All of us, passing by

Somewhere in the alleys of our minds

We all have our secret worlds

Some are haunted by memories

Some have an impulse to be cruel

And they’re watching intently

To see who they can use

You don’t know who’s a freak

And on this street

They’re out here lurking all the time

Amidst the swirling snow

I saw a friend, out jonesing and cold

She was pacing and waiting alone for an unknown

I guess that life has taken its toll

The vultures circle close

At any moment, we might slip and fall

The jackals are waiting, waiting for us all
