Shots ring out in Paris, the bells ring out in Rome

Your photo's in the paper, buy you're getting old

Footsteps in the carpark he's the governor of thenight

The omens say crime don't pay but each dog has its price



When two worlds collide

The tears well inside

When two worlds collide



A boy is found in Naples, his body's in a ditch

His young life counts for nothing when somebody's getting rich

There's flowers on the table, he sips water she drinks wine

And I don't think that mercy is the language of our time



When two worlds collide

The teardrops inside

When two worlds collide

You break me up inside



Backstreet of Chicago a black man plays the gold

There's a man on every corner says he'd like to buy your soul

Bhuddists in the temple, bullets in the night

Steeping out of their world, into your world, into mine

In the jet black night



The tears well inside

When two worlds collide

You break me up inside

Two worlds collide
