Bright city lights
In black city nights
Scream of nasty delights
Just out the sight
You here the sounds of a fight
It's just deep city fright

Why don't they all calm down?
Why don't they all calm down?

Secret streets in the heart of town
Secret streets with nobody 'round

Cars in the night
Like sharks cruisin' to bite
Hey kid hide from the light
Waiting at the door
I hear junkies looking to score
Always cravin' for more

Why don't it all break down?
Why don't it all break down?

Secret streets in the heart of town
Secret streets with nobody 'round

With their flashin' blue lights
Here come cops prowlin' in the night
You'd better stay out of sight
Waitin' for the dawn
You're lost and so far from home
It's a hard town to live in alone

Why don't they all calm down?
Why don't they all calm down?

Secret streets in the heart of town
Secret streets just nobody 'round
