Been left behind a thousand times, a thousand times

Look out, here comes the night time!
They say heaven's a place
Yeah, heaven's a place, and they know where it is
But you know where it is?
It's behind the gate, they won't let you in
And when they hear the beat coming from the street
They lock the door
But if there's no music up in heaven, then what's it for?
When I hear the beat
My spirit's on me like a live-wire
A thousand horses running wild in a city on fire
But it starts in your feet, then it goes to your head
And, if you can't feel it, then the roots are dead
And if you're the judge, then what is our crime?
