Murder on the Midnight Wire   Hey man you heard there's murder down on the street   Lookout Police men are out on the beat   Back in an alley a shot rings out   a cigarette flares   maybe it's a bang, blame, bang      Murder on the Midnight wire   The Police said this boy is a liar   Look, the gun's in his hands      It was a bang, blame, bang   The public wants an answer tonight   And this boy has no alibi   He's a murderer on the midnight wire      Conversations just slip in the dark   One block over the dogs start to bark   Across the ocean the sun starts to rise   With foreign eyes maybe it's a bang, blame, bang   murder on the midnight wire   the police say this boy is a liar   Look, the guns in his hands   It was a bang, blame, bang   The public wants an answer tonight   This boy has no alibi   He's a murderer on the midnight wire      Impact runs down electric lines   Heading north to the city news wire   If it's in ink it's black and it's white   Maybe it's a bang, blame, bang   murder on the midnight wire   the police say this boy is a liar   Look, the guns in his hands   It is a bang, blame, bang   The public wants an answer tonight   This boy has no alibi   He's a murderer on the midnight wire
