Desperation sets the clock   Buried treasure, call the shots   Family jewels in the vault   Sleep safe at any cost      When the life begins to fade   Snakes rattle in the cage   Nasty creatures on the crawl   Nothing dead as much at all      Streets come alive after midnight   Streets come alive after midnight      Spot targets, pick and choose   Rage and pain are on the move   Fears, that's to play a part   Sending daggers to the heart      Dream scenes, forgotten lives   Nightmare noise and blinded eyes   Crude smell and kerosene   Broken glass and strangled dreams      Streets come alive after midnight   Streets come alive after midnight      Up your burning nose   Politics step on your toes   Day-break will bring you back   Bright lights will make you crack      Streets come alive after midnight   There are no guaranties after midnight   Eyes in the skies after midnight   Fire in the skies after midnight
