Somebody Got Murdered
Someone lights a cigarette
While riding in a car
Some old 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
So you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I've been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I've been very desperate
But not enough to kill
Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever
Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the morning crowd disperse
No one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it's left me with a touch
Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever
Sounds like murder
All those screams how they drum down below
Sounds like murder
And those shots how they drum down below
Yes, I can't tell it's late
And my watch stopped some time ago
Sounds like murder
And those screams how they drum down below
Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
