Empty street of beads of light
None spell safety in my sight
Lend me a knife
Lend me a life
So I can make it home tonight
Chorus:
Walk through the night-side
Walk like a beast
Stalk like a caveman
Stark rock-bottom changes least
Stalking down the silent stone
Distance, keep me safe alone
With a ready grip
On a scrap-iron strip
Sure as a club of bison bone
City jungle, yes, it's true
That's what cops and robbers do
Try to get free
That's how to be
Strong enough to walk it through
So come on, junkie, rapist, crook
Stop and take another look
I'm still alive
And mean to survive
It's all down in Darwin's book
Stark rock-bottom changes least
