When darkness comes Lyrics

When the lights go down
In the cities and towns
The alleyways and ghetto's
Are way out of bounds
The dealers and the pimps
Let the night take the blame
Selling sex in stilettos
And half-cut cocaine

The motor pulls up
The window goes down
She knows what he wants
He doesn't have to make a sound
She don't know what's in his pocket
It could be cash or pain
She's got nothing to lose
She ain't got nothing to gain

So when darkness comes to the city
Don't wait around for too long
When darkness comes to the city
You know it's time you were gone
When darkness comes to the city
You'd better start making tracks
When darkness comes to the city
Get out and don't come back

When the lights go down
The streets are ruled by fear
If you've got the right money
They've got the right gear
Pathetic, sad and lonely
They crave their daily fix
While low-lives chase the dragon
The perverts get their kicks
