lyrics

Why should girls be afraid of walking alone at night?
I don't want to live in fear, I want a fuller life
I'm gonna walk home from his apartment anyways
Keep my phone in my pocket to lessen my target
Perk up to my surroundings, personal surveillance
I'm walking home from his apartment anyways

I stumble on the sidewalk and fall to my knees
Dropped my ID and my bedroom keys
Gotta walk home from his apartment anyways
Scramble to grab everything, keep on and on and on
Don't make eye contact with the blond
I have to walk home from that apartment anyways

Advertisements guide my way
Jogging is suspicious, just walk straight
It's just a couple blocks away
It's getting colder and it's so late
Maybe I should have just stayed
Maybe I should have just...

I don't think I was raised to have street smarts
A guy approached, what next, having the brain farts
I'm walking home from his apartment anyways
Remember the Kung Fu I learned in second grade?
A couple roundhouse kicks and I can make a break
I'm gonna walk home from his apartment anyways

Worst case scenario occurs, will I be safe?
Gotta focus on the road and just keep going straight
Can't keep my mind off the possibility of rape
I want to get home, under the covers, where I'm okay

Advertisements guide my way
Jogging is suspicious, just walk straight
It's just a couple blocks away
It's getting colder and it's so late
Maybe I should have just stayed
Maybe I should have just...

My boyfriend asked if I needed company
Or if I'd be home soon as he was worrying
Since I'm moderately attractive in a dangerous town
And he's a worrybug in love with a naked clown
I told him to hold tight, I'd get there soon
Hold his shoulders tight in the bedroom
But it keeps getting colder and it's just so late
I'm halfway there but suspect I should have stayed

Advertisements guide my way
Jogging is suspicious, just walk straight
It's just a couple blocks away
It's getting colder and it's so late
I'm gonna walk home from his apartment anyways
Despite it being cold and so very late
I'm gonna walk home from his apartment anyways
Anyways

about

Alleyway Worcester, Massachusetts

Alleyway first saw the light of day when she walked from the seafoam onto the shore, immediately entering the forest where she dwells today. She receives inspiration from horror, messages from God, and the lyrics of her predecessors. Florida is her greatest love, even though she fled the state to take a new identity for legal purposes. Alleyway is the next face of mythic rock and roll. ... more
