They walk the streets Late at night They don't know nothin' 'Bout what's wrong or right They're after me They're after you I can't help wonderin' What I'm gonna do If they catch me Whoa, and there ain't nowhere to run Chorus: Gunfire at midnight Shots ring out through the streets Breakin' glass in the back alley ways You don't dare to look and see Who's firin' at midnight Whoa, fear is in command Every shadow reveals the sheen of a blade You don't dare to make a stand An empty street Under the moon Walkin' quickly So I'll get home soon The sound of foot-steps Not far behind Could be them Or a friend of mine Keep a light in the window Whoa, and a lock upon the door Don't get a gun It won't kill your fear 'Cause if you show it Ten more appear A show of violence Will get back to you From what I've seen I believe it to be true If I see blood in the gutter Whoa, I'll pray that it ain't yours
