Baltimore Songtext
von Peter Case

I′m no kid, I'm not even young anymore
Take it from me, you′ll pray when you see what's in store
Well, I come to this neighborhood from far away
The sidewalks are covered in ice today
I come around the corner, 'round a dozen guys
Who follow me down, take me by surprise

I want you, I want you so
I wonder, wonder where we′ll go
In the rain and snow
We′ll leave red tracks in Baltimore
In the rain and snow, Baltimore

I've never been here, not in my dreams, my worst dreams
How could any place be as cold as this seems?
Well, they really had to have it ′til I thought I'd die
They didn′t stop swinging 'til the bus came by
They laughed, they stomped, they pulled my hair
They beat me with a shovel that was lying there


I want you, I want you so
I wonder, wonder where we′ll go
In the rain and snow
We'll leave red tracks in Baltimore
In the rain and snow, where we'll go
Baltimore, in the rain and snow

Bombs are bursting behind my eyes
But there′s no place to hide, nowhere to slip and slide, yeah
Frank′s got the keys so I try to call you
Afraid he'll lose it all to someone who′s got nothing

These human cares will fade away soon, take it from me
Our wounds will heal by the light of the moon
And with the light in their eyes, I would make 'em speak
Or maybe even learn to turn the other cheek
I′d rather see 'em running scared, shivering in their underwear

And I want you, I want you so
I wonder, wonder where we′ll go
In the rain and snow
We'll leave red tracks in Baltimore
In the rain and snow, where we'll go
Baltimore, in the rain and snow
