[Verse] Walking down alley shadowed sins Blocked by filth trash can lids Street lights blurry through the grime Life's a riddle I can't unwind [Verse 2] Brass blowing fire right in my ear Echoes pounding beat so near Soul wrung dry fingers to bone Scream my heart in city's stone [Chorus] I'm sinking deep in muddy streets Where the walls have eyes deceit Grit sticks thick to every dream Lost in midnight's hollow scream [Verse 3] Knees scraped dragging on the ground Voices whisper they confound Tattered blues hang on to air Mind's a battleground beware [Verse 4] Whisky drips from twisted lips Brass and blues bloodstream grips Begging mercy tired breath Find me solace sweet in death [Chorus] I'm sinking deep in muddy streets Where the walls have eyes deceit Grit sticks thick to every dream Lost in midnight's hollow scream
