Lyrics

The devil's playing out today
Waiting in the alley for come what may
We're over the fire
Balanced on a wire

It’s just me
My head hung down like a willow tree
On my own
My world has turned as cold as stone
Deep in the heart of this angry town

I heard a scream
The streets are paved with trouble and greed
And the people are mean
They’ll cut you down and they'll watch you bleed
Deep in the heart of this angry town

The devil's playing out today
Waiting in the alley for come what may
We're over the fire
Balanced on a wire

Who’s to blame?
For all the tears and all the pain
What’s the price?
Are we just a sacrifice?
Deep in the heart of this angry town

If I had one wish to make
I would end all this bitter hate
And the blind insanity
That's leading towards calamity
Every gun would fall apart
And break the chain of broken hearts
Love would find each lonely soul
They'd have helping hands to hold
There'd be no more other side
Just a partnership of all mankind
Deep in the heart of this angry town

The devil's playing out today
Waiting in the alley for come what may
We're over the fire
Balanced on a wire
We're balanced on a wire
Over the fire
Deep in the heart of this angry town
