Backstreet Killer

Looking to find an answer

Searching for a clue

Why a man bids his life with a gun and a knife

Then loses

It's not safe to walk the city

He's riding high

She's sitting pretty

Only he knows the time

Only he knows his own crime

We're standing in shadows

Searching round the seamy places

But there's not a place for you and for me

So you better go home

There's no place here

Go home

And feel the fear inside

Go home

Well you mustn't stay here

Go home

Go home

Go home

And get away and hide

His eyes are dark with anger

Hate building up inside the man

There's gonna be a bad sign

They're gonna have a bad time too

She's waiting at the station

One lonely girl with a dark invitation

There's no denying that she's standing on the wrong line

We're standing in shadows

Searching round the seamy places

But there's not a place for you and for me

So you better go home

There's no place here

Go home

And feel the fear inside

Go home

Well you mustn't stay here

Go home

Go home

Go home

And get away and hide

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 make a sacrifice

Standing in shadows

Searching round the seamy places

But there's not a place for you and for me

So you better go home

There's no place here

Go home

And feel the fear inside

Go home

Well you mustn't stay here

Go home

Go home

Go home

And get away and hide
