I Am Not Paranoid

I am not paranoid.
I have never been paranoid,
But walking on the street
In the city tonight,
Near the row of strange cars

One of them grunts and lokks at me.
Then another starts its engine
And I hear it whisper to the others.

When I walk away in fear,
They drove off and never to be seen again.
