Someone’s on the streets tonight k**er or madman, I don’t know Don’t think I’ll go out tonight Stay at home and watch the late show Footsteps break the subway’s sleep Funny, no one has ears for screams They found her up by Murphy’s keep It’s in the papers, it’s in my dreams Cops are smart and they pulled him in A poor young drifter who would go to hell And everyone can walk the streets again ‘Cept three young girls and they can’t tell (Bridge) Moon-glow and streetlights At the end of the day Loneliness and the city life Make people act this way (Chorus) Oh people how you shiver Behind your TV safe from sin
This child you once delivered Please, deliver us from him You may think that my story’s told The men of law cleared up the mess ‘Young girl missing only ten years old Four foot ten, white party dress,’ Worried mother on a TV screen Saying ‘Where’s my baby, I want to know,’ But we all knew she’d never see her again Still put it on, it makes a good show {Spoken}It makes a good show. Lights. Camera They got him this time, I don’t know how Seems that someone just saw his face And it’s all back to normal now Just this white dress I can’t place (BRIDGE) (CHORUS) (GUITAR HISTRIONICS - PAUL AND KIETH) (CHORUS)
