West side skyline crying
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime
Lifetime spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switch blade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car

Fallen angel
Fallen angel
West side skyline crying
fallen angel dying
life expiring in the ..
Snow white side streets of cold New York City
Stained with his blood all these times
Sick and tired through wicked and wild
God only knows for how long
