Another Step

Thought these streets always looked so empty
 Paved with wet stones and oil
 Flash of turn back to the gutter
 Brief encounters all end with a slam
 Then a presence stirs around me
 I around and there's you
 Seeking confrontation and contact
 Filling the void with human touch
 You feel the rush
 Just like a crush
 Take another step towards the light
 You say you can be trusted
 But something doesn't feel just right
 Take another step no I won't bite
 I'm all alone out walking
 There is no one else in sight
 Take another step
 Take another step
 Take another step, are you allright
 Question answered without a word
 What's wrong with you ain't physical
 In a second arm twisted behind me
 And my face pressed against the wall
 Whispers ask for my belongings
 Cellphone, wallet and the ring
 There is nothing that I can't give you
 There is nothing I cannot give
 If you let me live
 If you let me live
 Take another look into my eye
 You're stealing everything
 But cannot ever take my pride
 Take another coin, see if I care
 Raping every pocket
 But my integrity's not there
 Take another thing
 Take another ring
 Take another swing
 I won't fight back
 Take another step, let's not deny
 Strauss was on to something
 And then Nietzsche got it right
 Take another step, another crime
 A small one for you maybe
 But a giant for mankind
 It's another step
 It's another step
 It's another step back for humankind
