lyrics

(OK, pop is dead)

New year, new you, new look, new walk, new street to cross,
Getting it right this time,
Thumbs up to life,
Wondering about questions, answers and taking and giving away,
It's all in the description somewhere,
I am one of a new kind, trying to save time,
Telling you like it is, straight, but you can't say the same,
And I know, I know too well,
Just what comes of this place,
Just like a film and straight away it's dead.

Blood spilling across the street,
The cars are stopped just to see,
Some dark spectacle or show,
Call 999 and let them know,
Running through past, running for time,
Running away from a crime,
There are too many things wrong here,
Tell this man, tell this man, tell this man a future that he won't know,
Is it so clear when it's gone, when it's gone?

Blood runs out of his face,
You can see the shade pulling away,
And the hammer comes down, the hammer comes down,
The hammer comes down three times again,
And it's getting worse, it's getting worse,
Why ain't no-one stopping him?
It's getting worse, getting worse,
Well, who the fuck are you calling?
And it's out, it's out, dripping on the street,
The blood's out, it's out, falling on my feet,
Yeah, It's out, it's out,
"Is he up and breathing?" No,
"Is he up and breathing?" No!

Ride away, ride into the night with accomplices at your side,
Ride away, ride into the night with accomplices by your side,
Is it so fresh?
The blood runs aground,
Is it new flesh?
And blood all surrounds,
Is it so fresh?
You can't quite decide in your mind,
Is it so fresh?
Heavy and fresh.

LIghthouse, lighthouse, who will need it again?
LIghthouse, lighthouse, who needs citizens?
LIghthouse, lighthouse, who will need it again?
LIghthouse, lighthouse, who needs citizens?

LIghthouse, lighthouse, who is made aware?
LIghthouse, lighthouse, who is in presence here?
LIghthouse, lighthouse, who is made aware?
LIghthouse, lighthouse, who is made aware?
