Keep your head down.


Walk, and keep your head down.

Don’t look up, don’t look back.

Don’t go fast, don’t go slow.

Just walk. Keep your head down.

 

Some people claim they’re ‘free’

And that they can ‘help you’

If they approach you, dear

Step way, step away step away.

 

Walk, and keep your head down.

Don’t look up, don’t look back.

Don’t go fast, don’t go slow.

Just walk. Keep your head down.

 

Some people will get close

And say that they ‘love you’

If they approach you, dear

Step away, step away step away.

 

Walk, and keep your head down.

Don’t look up, don’t look back.

Don’t go fast, don’t go slow.

Just walk. Keep your head down.

 

Some people will show you

Beauty and magic, but

If they approach you dear,

Step away, step away, step away.

 

Walk, and keep your head down.

Don’t look up, don’t look back.

Don’t go fast, don’t go slow.

Just walk. Keep your head down.
