Streets of New York

He came around no warning Brought the devil to the house of the Lord yeah Now he's waking up each morning To the sound of a tell-tale A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York Cold confidence black powder Funny how a madman can think himself wise But the dreadful sound grew louder Silence broken by a kick drum A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York He tried to live his life in his father's eyes In a way that might save his soul But with the pressure on this preacher's son Let the devil come and take control So he headed down into the darkness To the place where he buried his crime And in a shallow grave lay his madness But he couldn't kill it a second time Like a symphony of thunder crashes To the city he became a sound To the city he became a sound To the city he became a sound A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
