lyrics
I seem to see this stranger almost everywhere
I do not wish to frighten you but you should know he's there
So that if you are threatened, if evil's ever done
You'll know it's him who did it, you'll know that he's the one
His looks are ordinary, but he does things in the dark
He hides inside the shadows watching children in the park
He whispers things in subways, you'd tremble with alarm
I tell you he will get to you, he's out to do you harm
I've seen him in the headlines and on the evening news
I saw him on the sidelines when stones were thrown at Jews
And marching in Montgomery pretending that he cared
I saw him wink, as though some old conspiracy were shared
He was in the crowd at Dallas at the close of Camelot
I spotted him on campus when the students had been shot
In the office of the governor where evil deeds are done
He was hanging out with Wilson killing AB 101
And he was smiling...
smiling...
Last night I found obscenities scrawled across my wall
I swear I can't repeat the filthy words that I recall
And then the most immoral damned insulting thing of all
As I read each line... I noticed...
his hand writing... was identical...
with...
mine.
