Brutal, beautiful   Strung out, hung out   Screaming sirens, scryscraper coffins   Shambolic, chaotic   Computer boffins      Strip-tease, traffic lights   Cut throat beer fights   Poison friends, fakers and takers   Stoic spectators   And you're all cold, cold heart breakers      Drunks slumped, cans tilted   Lost your mind in the violent crime   Strobes and flashes, knife gashes   Bright lights, jilted lovers      Piss stains and splattered brains   Corruption production, fag packets   Prediction rackets   You're all bribes and lies      Did you slip inside and get too low?   Did you slip inside and wanna know?      Smashed up limbs, stifled screams   A battle of lies, lightweight street fights   Monday mourning, pungent yawning   Inner-city casualty      Science and technology battle against me   I know there's something terminal eating away at me   A vulture's nest   Jesus, what a test      Did you slip inside and get too low?   Did you slip inside and wanna know?      I used to fall in love with everyone I'd meet   And then I realized it's murder out   Murder on the streets   Yeah, I used to fall in love with everyone I'd meet   And then I realized it's murder out on the streets      You know it's murder out on the streets   So don't fall in love with everyone you meet   'Cause I know it's murder out on the streets   You know it's murder out   Murder on the streets
