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.
