What's this I fear that's followin' me?
It's getting louder, it's coming near
I can not stand it, I'm gettin' outta here

You'd better beware now
You'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner

The rain is falling around my feet
The night is calling on this well-lit street
People in doorways just stand and stare
Castaway shadows that really aren't there

You'd better beware now
You'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner

What can I hear? Who can I see?
What's this I fear that's followin' me?
It's getting louder, it's coming near
I can not stand it, I'm getting outta here

You'd better beware now
Yeah you'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner

You'll never be a winner
On heat street
