Someone lights a cigarette
While riding in a car
Some ol´ guy takes a swig
And passes back the jar
But where they were last night
No-one can remember
Somebody got murdered
Goodbye, for keeps, forever

Somebody got murdered
Somebody´s dead forever

And you´re minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn´t cosh a barber
You´re hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill

Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They´ll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperses
No-one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it´ left me with a touch

Somebody got murdered
Somebody´s dead forever
Sounds like murder!
Those shouts!
Are they drunk down below?

It´s late, and my watch stopped
Some time ago
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
Are they drunk down below?
