In The Killers Footsteps

Footsteps trail through the snow

Following a killer from long ago

My mind wants to know

If he would go down my block and stalk

Planning on his next shot

Had he stood in front of my house in the summer of 76'

When my mom was just a child and my aunt a type he'd hit

Had they encountered this monster in passing while walking down the boulevard?

Or be a consideration but never took it that far

The fear had been set about when the son of sam would hit

Until the summer after 76', where fear became reality in front of a Northern Queens residence

It wasn't the place I know, but too close though

That I could walk in the killer's footsteps

As I walk down my block
