Trouble in the Street

from Ashes and Embers by Bill White

lyrics

theres trouble in the streets
where theres never been trouble in the streets before
somebody fell asleep
where nobody sleeps anymore
and i guess you never knew
how much like me and you
thise famous lovers were
theres trouble in the streets tonight
people are falling asleep
thats for sure

sombodys throwing rocks
in a place where everybody whould keep still
theres going to be a fight tonight
a lot of stupid people are gonna get killed
and i know you dont believe me
but i just went into that bar
to get some cigarettes
theres going to be a fight tonight
the man in the burgandy suit is taking bets

theres locks on the gates
where theres never been locks on the gate
that i remember
but they say heaven is falling
the stores are closing early
people want to be together
i know you dont remember
when the band refused to play
but we kept on dancing
tonight i feel the ghost of romeo
waiting in this west side alley
for something good to happen
