Woke up this morning to a vision
A deep incision
Been living on a razor's edge
Flirting with death
Nothing consumated
Pink turns to blue
Rent is due on Killer Street
Mmm
Living on Killer Street
Crickets chirp, bullets ricochet
Dandelion, carried away
Back and forth, and up and down
And 'round and 'round
And conscience drowned
Collect your inheritance
Picket fence on Killer Street
It's now or never, us or them
Here on Killer Street
Blood and tears, fuzzy cheers
Precious jewel, wrapped in wool
Sweet relief, cat-like thief
Don't it always leave you wanting more
It's one more chore
Sweeping floors on Killer street
Victory is bittersweet
On Killer Street
Woke up today, late for the lottery
Put on lipstick, didn't bother to shave
Read the marquee
It said
What's the use in crying
Placing flowers on unmarked graves
Did what you had to, got away
Frame it, put in on a shelf
Be somebody else
That's your reward
Comfortably bored
In your rocking chair
On the front porch
Early sunset over Killer Street
Born and raised on Killer Street
