Street Lines

Well the day was getting dark
And the sun was going down
Johnny went for a walk
On the dark side of town
With his shoes in his hand
And a sadness deep inside
A broken hearted lover
Fallen by the wayside

Another man's name
Carved in wood
And the other man's shame
Stands where he stood
Rubber was burning
Marking lines in the street
Johnny running down the middle
With no shoes on his feet

Rubber was burning
Marking lines in the road
Johnny running down the middle
Missed a truck with a heavy load
Missed by three others
Ran passed an open all night bar
Desperate to end his life
Jumped out in front of a speeding car

Tyres were screeching
Horns blasting loud
People were screaming
Policeman jumps out of his car and shouts
What the fuck are you doing
Throws Johnny in the back
Tells Johnny how lucky he was
As there is no coming back

Street lines
Street lines
Street lines
You better watch where you fall

Street lines
Street lines
Street lines
You better watch where you fall
