Bad Is As Bad Does

Please, help me breathe
I can’t see
eyes watering
Dog black
The creeping creeps at my feet
This silent sea cut by a heartbeat
What wreteched creature seeks
Head full of heat
Oh how this seethes in me
Let’s go down
go down
go down
Down to the place
it hides
black as night
Now you’re shaking like leaves
Been hiding out, deceit
It can hear your heart beating
It’s got you fooled completely
You don’t see these things
All night in alleys deep
No, this thing won’t sleep
Showing its teeth
These bad thoughts going to be the death of me
Bad is as bad does
I tell you all over and over again
Tell this hound to calm down
He’s been hanging around
Then running out at night
