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

And 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 hungry, 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 daily crowd disperses, no one says that much

Somebody got murdered and it left me with a touch

Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever

Sounds like murder, those shouts

Are they drunk down below?

Sounds like murder, those screams

Are they drunk down below?

It's late, my watch stopped

Some time ago

Sounds like murder, those screams

Are they drunk down below?
