The strangers in the shadows

Mock and jeer as they skip through the gallows

They swing joy fully with nooses meant to hang them

The horrendous villains many wish they could maim

But I ask you one thing

One small little question, I promise it won’t sting

Does the strangers in the shadows laughter not appeal to you?

We say they reside in misery but that simply does not seem true

For while they laugh and swing, dive and duck

It is you and I who remain stuck

We watch the strangers in the shadows, but they never watch us
