Long Gone - UFO

Skulking in the mean streets

Whispering in the halls

Red light bandits on the corner

Give no quarter calls

Infectious garbage fills the streets

And in their eyes you know

A thin blue line bends and breaks

Stop the overflow

Fan the flames of the city’s heat

In dark corners hiding never seen

Desperation and the trouble flares

Alarm guns ring running scared

And you’re long gone, down in this hell

Long gone down in this hell

So baby, won’t you hold me tight?

Let your softness fill my night

We’ve got a dream, don’t let it slip away

In your eyes I can see the fear

This town never sheds a tear

We’re gonna be out some day, walking away

Keep on looking for a holy one

Some kind of hero or a prophet to come

Visionaries dance your night away

There’s no tomorrow living for today

But you’re long gone down in this hell

Long gone down in this hell

I saw the stars come out tonight

So lonely and immune

Summer rain kissed the streets

That bleed like open wounds

Patrol cars sweep the avenues

Down on forty eighth

While faces in dark doorways

Wait around the hate

Fan the flames of the city’s heat

In dark corners hiding never seen

Desperation and the trouble flares

Alarm guns ring running scared

Baby, better walk away, baby, better walk away

We’ll be busting out someday

Baby, better walk away, baby, better walk away

We’ll be busting out some day
