Doppelgänger

Dory Previn

I seem to see this stranger
Almost everywhere
I do not wish to frighten you
But you should know he's there

So that if you're threatened
If evil's ever done
You'll know, it's him who did it
You'll know that he's the one

His looks are ordinary
But he does things in the dark
He hides inside the shadows
Watching children in the park

He whispers things in subways
You'd tremble with alarm
I tell you, he will get to you
He's out to do you harm

I've seen him in the headlines
And on the evening news
I saw him on the sideline
When stones were thrown at Jews

And marching in Montgomery
Pretending that he cared
I saw him wink as though
Some old conspiracy were shared

He was in the crowd in Dallas
At the close of Camelot
I spotted him on campus

When the students had been shot
In an oriental village
With civilians left to rot

He was hanging out with soldiers
Trading heroin for pot and he was
Smiling, smiling

Last night I found obscenities
Scrawled across my wall
I swear, I can't repeat

The filthy words that I recall
And then the most immoral
Damned insulting thing of all

As I read each line
I noticed his handwriting
Was identical with mine
