Lyrics:

Black shadows dance
Beyond the neon glow
There's rumors in your head
And just one way to go
Oh so tight
It makes your blood run cold
Name is blind
Tryin' to save your soul
D
Don't even pray
E
Just cry from the street

It's fine as you leave
The one they keep at home
So you've lost someone
That you thought you owned
You know it's a crime
But what can you do?
That's the price you pay
With each turn of the screw
D
But don't pay no mind
E
Just cry from the street

You really love the night
Even though you're alone
It's such a cryin' shame
That things are so wrong
It's the sign of your scream
That it blinds your feet
I guess the chance is ours
You wish to stay and sleep
D
But don't even pray
E
Just cry from the street
