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
