I used to fall in love with everyone i'd meet
and then i realised it's murder out
murder on the streets

and then i realised it's murder out on the streets
y'know it's murder out on the streets
so don't fall in love with everyone you meet
cos i know it's murder out on the streets
y'know it's murder out
murder on the streets.
