City light signs gleaming Rain swept black wet street Endless nights of dreaming Sleeping on my feet Inside people talk about how to make money Inside anger eatin' away at my dirt Not me officer I wasn't tryin' to be funny Bend down pick it up I could not lose a bu*t City moving crawling And he'll be high soon Loneliness comes calling Has it called on you Inside people run around turning on eating Inside sickness burning away at my mind Why me, what am I, born lost takin' a beating Drink deep pa** it back methylated me blind Yes a inside people laugh as though nothing has happened
Inside in the sinkin' right into my soul Where's that prodigal cop that's mine to be frightened Long gone, eaten up, swallowed down, spat out whole Can anybody hear me, the who*es are moving in And I don't want to be afraid City morning coming Someone stopped the rain Children, shouting running I wish they'd stop the pain Inside people think about nothing but dying Inside laughter tickles at the back of my throat Sometime, yesterday, that's the time to be crying Rains gone, so have I, somebody read this note
