It was a stormy night... while the city's asleep

I was down to my last cigarette

And the holes in my shoes let the rain soakin' in

It's a night that I'll never forget

The flickering street light, the cold in my breath

Intensity ripped in the air

The sound of a gun as I watched a man run

Into blackness he then disappeared

Violence

Gun control

My heart skipped a beat as I ran 'cross the street

To the house, the lights on inside

As I stood at the door, he was there on the floor

With a bullet between the eyes

They zipped up the bag and they wheeled him outside

As I watched the lights fade away

And the holes in my shoes, still the rain soakin' in

I can't walk away...

I can't walk away...
