On the street they´re preaching violence
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no gun to shoot you dead
Why do I act the way I do
Ain't it obvious I´m just a man like you
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is feeling hungry
On the streets the lights are fighting
Searching for someone like you
Better find a good Messiah
To help the sad and lonely through
Why do I act the way I do
Ain´t it obvious I´m much more black than blue
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is feeling hungry
On the street they´re preaching violence
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no guns to shoot you dead
Why do I act the way I do
Ain´t it obvious I´m just a man like you
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is feeling hungry
