Innocent Bystander Lyrics by Charlie Midnight

Innocent Bystander

0

Now it's so easy, go down slowly
Let it happen, close your eyes
Even when you know it's comin'
Ain't it such a big surprise
You're just an innocent bystander
You don't know where or when
You're just an innocent bystander
You'd better turn around
In the darkness when it happens
No more passion, no more light
Just another gray survivor
Hangin' on, holdin' tight
You're just an innocent bystander
You don't know where or when
You're just an innocent bystander
You'd better turn around and look again
Dancin' in the shadows of the boardwalk
Trashcan fire, flesh is hot
Rеnegade children with moonstruck еyes
Come to show you what they got
The children fed the fire
With muscle, hustle fuel
As Jackie said to Chica
"You're a Latin, satin jewel"
He said, "Me and you can make it, baby
'Cause I got what you need"
Then a voice cried, "That's my woman
Now, boy, you're gonna bleed"
Then Jackie sprung his switchblade
But he never had a chance
And everything went silent
As he did his final dance
Then I heard his mama call
"Jackie boy, come home"
And it echoed through the alleys
Where he'd carved his name in stone
Ain't it easy when you go down slowly
And you let it happen and you close your eyes
Even when you know it's comin'
Ain't it such a big surprise
You're just an innocent bystander
You don't know where or when
You're just an innocent bystander
You'd better turn around and look again
And look again
And look again
And look again
