Someone lights a cigarette 
While riding in a car 
Some ol'guy take a swig 
And passes back the jar 
But where they were last night 
No-one can remember 
Goodbye, for keeps forever 
Somebody got murdered 
Somebody's dead forever 
And you're minding your own business 
Carrying spare change 
You wouldn't cosh a barber 
You're hungry all the same 
I been very tempted 
To grab it from the till 
I been very hungry 
But not enough to kill 
Somebody got murdered 
His name cannot be found 
A small stain on the pavement 
They'll scrub it off the ground 
As the daily crown disperse 
No-one says that much 
Somebody got murdered 
And it' left me with a touch 
Somebody got murdered 
Somebody's dead forever 
Sounds like murder! 
Those shouts! 
Are they drunk down below? 
It's late, and my watch stopped 
Some time ago 
Sounds like murder! 
Those screams! 
Are they drunk down below?
