Murder on the Midnight Wire

Hey man you heard there's murder down on the street

Lookout Police men are out on the beat

Back in an alley a shot rings out

a cigarette flares

maybe it's a bang, blame, bang



Murder on the Midnight wire

The Police said this boy is a liar

Look, the gun's in his hands



It was a bang, blame, bang

The public wants an answer tonight

And this boy has no alibi

He's a murderer on the midnight wire



Conversations just slip in the dark

One block over the dogs start to bark

Across the ocean the sun starts to rise

With foreign eyes maybe it's a bang, blame, bang

murder on the midnight wire

the police say this boy is a liar

Look, the guns in his hands

It was a bang, blame, bang

The public wants an answer tonight

This boy has no alibi

He's a murderer on the midnight wire



Impact runs down electric lines

Heading north to the city news wire

If it's in ink it's black and it's white

Maybe it's a bang, blame, bang

murder on the midnight wire

the police say this boy is a liar

Look, the guns in his hands

It is a bang, blame, bang

The public wants an answer tonight

This boy has no alibi

He's a murderer on the midnight wire
