Dead black sock, layin' on the sidewalk
Washed up here, kicked by a big truck
Approached cautiously thought it was a crow
Was it a bad omen? Maybe so.

Darkness rising there's too much fear
Where is safety? Doesn't seem here
Around every corner a man with a gun
Doesn't matter when he's a policeman

If I look up you look away
If I nod, you got nothing to say
Tryin' to be neighborly, you disbelieve
Try to get along just want some relief

Even that dead sock brings me anxiety 
Worried the crow is warning me
Now I worry about who lost that sock
But I don't stop, no I don't stop
