Bright city lights

In black city nights

Scream of nasty delights

Just out the sight

You here the sounds of a fight

It's just deep city fright


Why don't they all calm down?

Why don't they all calm down?



Secret streets in the heart of town

Secret streets with nobody ‘round


Cars in the night

Like sharks cruisin' to bite

Hey kid hide from the light

Waiting at the door

I hear junkies looking to score

Always cravin' for more


Why don't it all break down?

Why don't it all break down?


Secret streets in the heart of town

Secret streets with nobody ‘round


With their flashin' blue lights

Here come cops prowlin' in the night

You'd better stay out of sight

Waitin' for the dawn

You're lost and so far from home

It's a hard town to live in alone


Why don't they all calm down?

Why don't they all calm down?



Secret streets in the heart of town

Secret streets just nobody ‘round
