Out in the backstreets all crossing different ways
been looking for that new thing got me runnin' for days
your smile is a late-devil, wholesome surprise
in tears beggars caress
holding close what they despise
it's the contents of duress
the contents of duress!
Baby I ain't no animal, Im just a regular man
I'm always ready to pick a fight, you know I do what I can
Is justice out on the town while Lady Liberty sleeps?
The only ones left around, the ones who got in too deep
Colder in the night with a pendulum,
never time to bide
better stayed their hearts unsung,
the cost would overcome the prize
Danger dreams on the tv screens
seem oh, so demure
like truth in fiction, it's telling our condition
that feeds but is never sure
