Don't go outside at night

I...I sleep with his wife/his diary writes although he's long gone/ his exit in a body bag was not planned/ you gotta understand/ this dude was a complete mad man/ he clung uselessly to obsolete beliefs/ a member of a southern gang/ down near the dumps/ in and around the slums/ picked up some street kings/ picking on the street punks/ this sucks/ this stuff I gotta report to clean up/ the streets and those that lurk at night behind an anonymous shadow/ their beady white eyes look from behind the corner/ where the scavengers and wolves wait to pounce on their pray/ then bounce in a proud display of colors and empty shells/ slowly rocking in the wind the shell casing that killed the fourteen year old kid cause he was in the wrong place at the wrong time/ this is the sign of the night/ this is the sign of the times/ and the spirits of those who've gone before whisper through the eerie project apartment halls/ don't go outside at night...
