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
