Erasure - Hallowed Ground Lyrics
Everybodys intent on killing someoneThe streets are closed and theres a kid on the runThe bullets scream out from gun to gunEverybodys intent on being someoneThe cold and darkness of a criminal dawnWrapped in blankets gotta keep ourselves warmA child in the arms of a teenage mumWho will be there, who will be the next victimOf the criminal dawn?Old friends meet on the edge of townSharing conversation, hoping things will soon get betterWhile the children meet, got the world at their feetNot knowing whats around the cornerAre we living for an uncertain future?Down on the corner sits a broken manLives by the bottle, swears never againLost his money on the dogs and ginNow he looks for his supper in a garbage canThe kids hang around by the old schoolgroundRight by the river where the body was foundThrowing stones on hallowed groundWho will be there, who will be the next victimOf the criminal dawn?Old friends meet on the edge of townSharing conversation, hoping things will soon get betterWhile the children meet, got the world at their feetNot knowing whats around the cornerAre we living for an uncertain future?In the cold and darkness of a criminal dawnWrapped in blankets gotta keep ourselves warmA child in the arms of a teenage mumWho will be there, who will be the last victimOf the criminal dawn?Old friends meet on the edge of townSharing conversation, hoping things will soon get betterWhile the children meet, got the world at their feetNot knowing whats around the cornerAre we living for an uncertain future?
