Streets of New York Lyrics

He came around no warning

Brought the devil to the house of the Lord yeah

Now he's waking up each morning

To the sound of a tell-tale

A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York

Cold confidence black powder

Funny how a madman can think himself wise

But the dreadful sound grew louder

Silence broken by a kick drum

A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York

He tried to live his life in his father's eyes

In a way that might save his soul

But with the pressure on this preacher's son

Let the devil come and take control

So he headed down into the darkness

To the place where he buried his crime

And in a shallow grave lay his madness

But he couldn't kill it a second time

Like a symphony of thunder crashes

To the city he became a sound

To the city he became a sound

To the city he became a sound

A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York

A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York

A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York

A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
