Are these sensible shoes on my feet
I wear my shades so our eyes don’t meet
I’m scared every fuckin' day
I wear my headphones so i can’t hear what you say
Can i run
Switch to paranoid from having fun
Will he use his hands, knife, or a gun
Knuckles are white, wrapped around my mace
Comes from living in a terrorist state
Can i run
When he’s following me
He’s not my brother, he’s my enemy
Is he behind the door or in back of the tree
Is he under the bed, is he in the back street
Can i run
Can I Run

are these sensible shoes on my feet?
I wear my shades so our eyes don't meet
I'm scared every fuckin' day
I wear my headphones, so I can't hear what you say...
Can I run? (x2)

Can I run when he's following me?
he's not my brother, he's my enemy
is he behind the door or in back of the tree?
is he under the bed, is he in the back seat?
Can I run? (x5)

The first time I heard this song, I thought "Holy shit". They just don't make songs like that anymore -- it's dark, dreary and perfect for the imagery of domestic abuse.
