A woman on the subway platform
Is shouting that she's clean
Been off the stuff since late last week
Says she's quit that ugly scene
Nobody is listening
Except for me and my kid
My kid spins her finger 'round her ear
Can't keep her feelings hid
I am walking down
This uneasy street
People are so strange
On this uneasy street
Nobody knows me
But that's all right
I can walk this uneasy street
In the dead of night
A big man in a red bandana
Is holding a brown bag
Something odd is oozing out
He's not your usual swag
He sees me looking
My first and last mistake
He gives me a fearsome stare
His eyes black like a snake
A baby in a baby carriage
Starts rolling toward the tracks
Some dude in the middle of a text
Doesn't see it when it smacks
He stepped right out of its way
Didn't notice and didn't care
Never heard the mother screaming
Over his iPhone blare
