Someone lights a cigarette
  While riding in a car
  Some ol' guy takes a swig
  And passes back the jar
  But where they were last night
  No-one can remember
  Somebody got murdered
  Goodbye, for keeps, forever
    Somebody got murdered
  Somebody's dead forever
    And you're minding your own business
  Carrying spare change
  You wouldn't cosh a barber
  You're hungry all the same
  I been very tempted
  To grab it from the till
  I been very hungry
  But not enough to kill
    Somebody got murdered
  His name cannot be found
  A small stain on the pavement
  They'll scrub it off the ground
  As the daily crown disperses
  No-one says that much
  Somebody got murdered
  And it' left me with a touch
    Somebody got murdered
  Somebody's dead forever
  Sounds like murder!
  Those shouts!
  Are they drunk down below?
    It's late, and my watch stopped
  Some time ago
  Sounds like murder!
  Those screams!
  Are they drunk down below?
