Lyrics inspired by an article in the newspaper regarding a policeman who was killed in action. The story took on a life of it's own.
"Live at Happy" Nikita the Spooky and a Circus of Men Debut CD (recorded live at Happy, May 2011 as part of the Travelling Storytellers showcase.)
lyrics
cold night
running feet
gunshots
voices scream
face down in the sand
blood on your hands
life slowly ebbing away
with the money you pay
hot night
music beat
ecstacy
loving dream
sirens wail
in the night
