My hometown is not a pretty sight There's comfort on the street almost every night And eyes burn with hatred everywhere you go I've been through the long miles just to get here I ain't gonna turn back, these internal fears And all I wanna do is play some music here tonight Woah, woah, here upon the light Woah, woah, it ain't right There's murder in the night Murder in the night There's murder in the night It's killing me Out on the stage, one lonely spot Picks at the crowd and there's not a light The kids are all staying home, the streets are too hot And what am I doing here, why did I come? Cause all I gotta do is sing my sad song And politics is not my game, don't interest me none Woah, woah, here upon the light Woah, woah, it ain't right There's murder in the night Murder in the night There's murder in the night It's killing me Murdering me There's a Christmas tree in the middle of town Lighting up the people just walking around The show is over, but they didn't hear a sound And everybody's talking behind their closed doors Dreaming of tomorrows that have all gone before And what can you do but turn and walk away? Woah, woah, here upon the light Woah, woah, it ain't right There's murder in the night Murder in the night There's murder in the night It's killing me Killing me Just murdering me It's killing me It's murder in the night It's murder in the night It's killing me
