Skulking in the mean streets whispering in the halls
Redlight bandits on the corner give no quarter calls
Infectious garbage fills the streets and in their eyes you know
A thin blue line bends and breaks stop the overflow
Fan the flames of the citys heat
In dark corners that you never seen
Desperation when the trouble flares
Alarm guns ring well Im gonna scream running scared
And youre long gone, down in this hell
Long gone down in this hell
So baby wont you hold me tight
Let your softness fill my night
Weve got a dream dont let it slip away
In your eyes I can see the fear
This town never sheds a tear
Were gonna be out somedaywalking away
People looking for the holy one,
Some kind of hero or a prophet to come
Visionaries dance the night away
Theres no tomorrow living for today
But youre long gone down in this hell
Long gone down in this hell
Instrumental
I saw the stars come out tonight so lonely and immune
Summer rain kissed the streets that bleed like open wounds old balloons
Patrol cars sweep the avenues down on forty eighth
While faces in dark doorways wait to arouse the hate
Repeat
baby better walk away
Baby better walk away
Well be busting out someday
repeat
Instrumental
