It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was the shame
But they didn't even try
You see we'd never met
And they didn't have names
There was nothing I could do.
So I turned on the crowd
And I screamed 'you and you'
It could have been you.
And they seemed to think
That I looked that way
Or maybe I was wrong
(So I said)
Do you know Mr. Wall?
And they looked the other way
And then they smiled at me.
But the police came
And I said it was me
And I just walked away.
I suppose it was the shame
But they didn't even try
You see we'd never met
And they didn't have names
There was nothing I could do.
And I screamed 'you and you'
It could have been you.
That I looked that way
Or maybe I was wrong
(So I said)
Do you know Mr. Wall?
And they looked the other way
And then they smiled at me.
And I said it was me
And I just walked away.
