Wicked Streets by Ben Laney

You'd better hide
Your gypsy heart
Around here
They'll rip it apart
Don't show 'em
A smile or a tear
They really
Don't care around here
These are some
Wicked streets, baby

I think that you
Won't like it here
Among these souls
Frozen by fear
Just look around
At the empty eyes
Stay here too long
And your love will surely die
These are some
Wicked streets, baby

I know I
Can't stay around here
Breathing in
The blood and the fear
There's someplace else
I want to be
I've seen more
Than I ever wanted to see

These are some
Wicked streets, baby
More wicked
Than I've ever
Seen streets, baby
Be careful
Not to stumble
They'll just grind you
Beneath their feet
Here on these
Wicked streets
Wicked streets, baby

I've been to Hollywood, and saw behind the glittery, fantasy scenes.......There are some people down there who will rip your soul apart at the seams
