Shotgun Alley

Time for leaving
The clock strikes nine
Nobody's waiting
All those years passing by

To the well known nothing
The taxi rides
Welcome to the thunder
Say goodbye to your pride

They've seen your falling
Nothing to hide away
Without a warning
Leading yourself astray
Youth gone by - no surrender

You feel like a deer
In the sights of a hunter
Shy and helpless
Always kept under

They made the big deal
You've gone to jail
Old friends on the dance floor
While your own party fails

Back in the
Shotgun Alley
Without a friend
Deep down in
Shotgun Valley
Where justice ends
Back in the
Shotgun Alley
'Til the bitter end
They will always do it again
(They will always hurt you again)

Time for leaving
Finding your way
Getting out of trouble
No reason to stay
