Out of the streetlights glare

Theres a slight stab of fear

In his altered understanding

It quickly disappears


Cant spell electric

But he feels it in the air

Springing doors on darkened cages

That swing open in his stare


CHORUS:

Its alright

On the street tonight, never realize

Always someone harder

Always someone just like you

Always someone harder

Til its too late

And youre ten seconds in


Maybe down inside him

Theres some neglected fuse

Some option long avoided

A circuit seldom used


With confrontation

Someone you never dare

Another life is less than zero

Violence, a life-long love affair


CHORUS: 2 x


Black cat hangin on the corner

Caught hangin in the wrong

Almost screaming for attention

Must be well aware he dont belong


Sweating hard, in for the kill

Then something hits him like a train

Across the alley, its forgotten

Just two more bullets in the rain


CHORUS
