Brutal/beautiful

Strung out/hung out

Screaming sirens/scryscraper coffins

Shambolic/chaotic

Computer boffins

Strip-tease traffic lights

Cut throat beer fights

Poison friends/fakers and takers

Stoic spectators

And you're all cold, cold heartbreakers 

Drunks slumped

Cans tilted

Lost yr mind in the violent crime

Strobes and flashes/knife gashes

Bright lights/jilted lovers

Piss stains and splattered brains

Corruption production/fag 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 limbs/stifled screams

A battle of lies/lightweight street fights

Monday mourning/pungent 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.
