Devil Street

[steam_swing]

Running from the light,
Slipping away,
Down an alley way,
The stars are bright tonight,
But they don't reflect in my eyes,
People throwing dice,
The dots saying how much they will lose,
Running from the light,
Gun smoke filling the sky,
Ending lives,
Leaving bodies behind,
Bars light up my eyes,
The signs promise a decent night,
Slipping down this alleyway,
My soul is hurt,
Nobody here to save this place,
Bruises on children's faces,
Leaving hope far behind,
They will never see the stars,
Running away late at night,
The stars are bright tonight,
But they don't reflect in my eyes
