Silent Witness

Lyrics

The neon haze of city lights The tribal sound of marching feet Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights The tired and homeless roam the streets The sirens wail the engines roar A shadowed man just glances round A victim of life's mindless toil Lies cold and helpless on the ground The window dummies silent stare Bears witness on the night If they could move What it would prove To see them all take flight The neon haze of city lights The tribal sound of marching feet Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights The tired and homeless roam the streets The walls shout loud with angry words The people air their views The poor can scream but no-one hears The concrete jungle sings the blues The window dummies silent stare Bears witness on the night If they could move What it would prove To see them all take flight
