I Used To Fall In Love

I Used To Fall In Love
Brutal/beautiful
Strung out/hung out
Screaming sirens/skyscraper coffins
Shambolic/chaotic
Computer boffins
Strip-tease traffic lights
Cut throat beer fights
Poison friends/fakers and takers
Stoic spectators
And you're all cold, cold heartbreakers
Drunks slumped
Cans tilted
Lost your mind in the violent crime
Strobes and flashes/knife gashes
Bright lights/jilted lovers
Piss stains and splattered brains
Corruption production/fag packets
Prediction rackets
You're all bribes and lies
Did you slip inside and get too low?
Did you slip inside and wanna know?
Smashed up limbs/stifled screams
A battle of lies/lightweight street fights
Monday mourning/pungent yawning
Inner-city casualty
Science and technology battle against me
I know there's something terminal eating away at me
A vulture's nest
Jesus, what a test
Did you slip inside and get too low?
Did you slip inside and wanna know?
I used to fall in love with everyone I'd meet
And then I realised it's murder out
Murder on the streets
Yeah I used to fall in love with everyone I'd meet
And then I realised it's murder out on the streets
Y'know it's murder out on the streets
So don't fall in love with everyone you meet
Cos I know it's murder out on the streets
Y'know it's murder out
Murder on the streets.
