Brutalbeautiful
Strung outhung out
Screaming sirensscryscraper coffins
Shambolicchaotic
Computer boffins
Strip-tease traffic lights
Cut throat beer fights
Poison friendsfakers and takers
Stoic spectators
And you're all cold, cold heartbreakers
Drunks slumped
Cans tilted
Lost yr mind in the violent crime
Strobes and flashesknife gashes
Bright lightsjilted lovers
Piss stains and splattered brains
Corruption productionfag packets
Prediction rackets
You're all bribes and lies
Did you slip inside and get too low?
Did you slip inside and wanna know?
Smashed up limbsstifled screams
A battle of lieslightweight street fights
Monday mourningpungent yawning
Inner-city casualty
Science and technology battle against me
I know there's something terminal eating away at me
A vulture's nest
Jesus, what a test
Did you slip inside and get too low?
Did you slip inside and wanna know?
I used to fall in love with everyone I'd meet
And then I realised it's murder out
Murder on the streets
Yeah I used to fall in love with everyone I'd meet
And then I realised it's murder out on the streets
Y'know it's murder out on the streets
So don't fall in love with everyone you meet
Cos I know it's murder out on the streets
Y'know it's murder out
Murder on the streets.
