Lookin’ to find an answer, searchin’ for a clue,
Why a man pits his life with a gun and a knife and loses,
It’s not save to walk the city, he’s ridin’ high,
She’s sitting pretty,
Only he knows the time, only he knows his own crime
(Chorus)
Standing in shadows, searchin’ round the seamy places,
But there’s not a place for you and me,
So you’d better come on, there’s no place here.
Come on! well you mustn’t stay here,
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Get away and hide.
His eyes are dark with anger, hate building up inside the man,
There’s gonna be a bad sign, their gonna have a bad time too,
She’s waitin0 at the station, one lonely girl with a dark invitation,
And there’s no denying that she’s standin’ on the wrong line.
(Chorus)
What makes a man to think that he has the right to take a life,
What takes him to the brink, and the need to have a sacrifice?
(Solo)
(Chorus)
