Lyrics

Standing in the alleyway, looking for a light Gripping to a weapon that'll put you out of sight Don't got no graduation, don't got no suit and tie But if you got a sucker, I can make that sucker cry C'mon! I'm only a nocturne child, sweet baby Only a nocturne child I'll be gone in the blink of an eye, pretty mama Look out! I'm running wild Nocturne child Don't got no grace or dignity, I'm heavy on my feet I killed this other guy for a little bite to eat I never made it anywhere, I never had a chance I never held a candle, but I can sing and I can dance Clap hands! Nocturne child I'm only a nocturne child, sweet baby Only a nocturne child I'll be gone in the blink of an eye, pretty mama Look out! I'm running wild Nocturne child Keep it under twenty-nine, nothing left to lose Moving like a housebreaker down the avenue Give me milk and honey, baby, give me something quick As steamy as it is, it ain't ever gonna stick, come on Nocturne child I'm only a nocturne child, sweet baby Only a nocturne child I'll be gone in the blink of an eye, pretty mama Look out! Nocturne child Nocturne child Nocturne child Nocturne child Nocturne child Nocturne child Nocturne child Nocturne child
