I'm taking steps
Through a city in stasis
The sky is as grey as my mood is
Today and every day so come on
Gnaw my nails down to the flesh
The same old characters surface
Don't believe me ask Streetwise Pat, he'll go on and tell you
He's the last one of them left
The others all have met their end
Through some horrific circumstance
Staying alive is as good as it gets for the living
The block's hot like an inferno and so hard hearted it's cold
Pack of hungry humans scrap
To scrape some meat from the bone
It goes
I'm taking steps through a city in changes
It's ghosts are grey like my mood is
Today and every day so come on
The corner smells like piss and shit
The same old characters surface
Don't believe me ask Streetwise Pat, he'll go on and tell you
Pushers and preachers peddling
Different drugs, same addiction
And prey on horrific circumstance
The skies are blue but the streets run red
