Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nowhere to sleep tonight
The snow is bright
The morning light, it  don't come
Who gonna be in my bed tonight?
Come with the money for to put things right
[Verse 2]
The day is closing in
Rummaging through bins
The empty tins with trust
Cease you wishers, I'll be fighting for my head
Don't want to be on the side where Megan bled
[Verse 3]
These clothes don't ever fit
Stiff like my upper lip
Spikes where I want to sit
I see, I see, I see
[Verse 4]
Nowhere to sleep tonight
I feel the beat, I hear them whispering
Nowhere to sleep tonight
The voices saying, look up
[Verse 5]
Newspapers that I've found in the underground
In a London town, there they come
All those trees were paved with cold
All there was, newspaper, a phone
[Verse 6]
Their eyes just stare ahead as if I'm dead
Looking at me like that
The race been one but you keep on going on
On and on and on and on and
[Verse 7]
The city moves to a beat
A drum beneath my feet
I pray my soul to keep
I see, I see, I see
[Verse 8]
Nowhere to sleep tonight
I feel the beat, I hear them whispering
Nowhere to sleep tonight
The voices saying, look up
[Verse 9]
Nowhere to sleep tonight
Nowhere to sleep tonight
Paved with cold
Paved with cold
Paved with cold
Paved with cold
[Verse 10]
And now the night's are so long
And I have done nothing wrong
Somebody stole all my shine
I never knew it was mine
[Verse 11]
I'm looking for someone who cares
And there's a chew in the air
A thousand spikes and sharp doors
I'm feeling like a lost cause
[Verse 12]
You move me on in the morning
And suddenly, without warning
You douce me down with ice water
I'm like a lamb to the slaughter
[Verse 13]
Been on the streets for so long
Don't know what I did wrong
Somewhere I lost all my shine
No money is my only crime
