The streets are closed and there's a kid on the run

Everybody's intent on being someone

The cold and darkness of the criminal dawn

Down by the corner sits a broken man
F
Lives by the bottle, swears never again

He looks for his supper in garbage can

Right by the river where the body was found

Throwing stones on hallowed ground

Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?
[Chorus]
