Long Gone Songtext
von Doogie White

Skulking in the mean streets
Whispering in the halls
Red light bandits on the corner
Give no quarter call
Infectious garbage fills the streets
And in their eyes you know

A thin blue line bends and breaks
Stops the overflow

Fans the flame of the city′s heat
In dark corners hiding their deceit
Desperation when the trouble blasts
An alarm gun's ring running scared

And you′re long gone
Down in this hell
Long gone
Down in this hell


So baby won't you hold me tight
Let your softness fill my night
We've got a dream, don′t let it slip away
In your eyes I can see the fear
This town never sheds a tear
We′re gonna be out someday

People are looking for the holy one
Some kind of hero or prophet to come
Visionaries dance the night away
There's no tomorrow, living for today

And you′re long gone
Down in this hell
Long gone
Down in this hell

I saw the stars come out tonight
So lonely and immune
I saw the rain kiss the streets
That bleed like open wounds
Patrol cars sweep the avenues
Down on forty-eight

While faces in dark doorways
Wait to round their hate


Fan the flames of the city heat
In dark corners hiding their deceit
Desperation when the trouble blasts
An alarm gun's ring running scared

And you′re long gone
Down in this hell
Long gone
Down in this hell

So baby won't you hold me tight
Let your softness fill my night
We′ve got a dream, don't let it slip away
In your eyes I can see the fear
This town never sheds a tear
We're gonna be walking away

Baby walk away
Baby don′t walk away
They′ll be busting down someday
Walk away
