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
