Out of the streetlights glare  There's a slight stab of fear  In his altered understanding  It quickly disappears    Can't spell electric  But he feels it in the air  Springing doors on darkened cages  That swing open in his stare    [Chorus:]  It's alright  On the street tonight, never realize  Always someone harder  Always someone just like you  Always someone harder  Till it's too late  And you're ten seconds in    Maybe down inside him  There's some neglected fuse  Some option long avoided  A circuit seldom used    With confrontation  Someone you never dare  Another life is less than zero  Violence a life-long love affair    [Chorus x2]    Black cat hangin' on the corner  Caught hangin' in the wrong  Almost screaming for attention  Must be well aware he don't belong    Sweating hard, in for the kill  Then something hits him like a train  Across the alley, it's forgotten  Just two more bullets in the rain
