John Cale - Last Day On Earth

Streets Come Alive

Desperation sets the clock
Buried treasure, call the shots
Family jewels in the vault
Sleep safe at any cost
When the life begins to fade
Snakes rattle in the cage
Nasty creatures on the crawl
Nothing dead as much at all

Streets come alive after midnight
Streets come alive after midnight

Spot targets, pick and choose
(Choose, rage) rage and pain are on the move
(Fear) fear start's to play a part
(Sending) sending daggers to the heart
Dream scenes, forgotten lives
Nightmare noise and blinded eyes
Crudes now and kerosene
Broken glass and strangled dreams

Streets come alive after midnight
Streets come alive after midnight

Scratched up your burning nose
Politics step on your toes
Day-break will bring you back
Bright new lights will make you crack

Streets come alive after midnight
There are no guaranties after midnight
Eyes in the skies after midnight
Fire in the skies after midnight
