Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Desperation sets the clock
Buried treasure, call the shots
Family jewels in the vault
Sleep safe at any cost
When the life begins to fade
Snakes rattle in the cage
Nasty creatures on the crawl
Nothing dead as much at all
Streets come alive after midnight
Streets come alive after midnight
Spot targets, pick and choose
(Choose, rage) rage and pain are on the move
(Fear) fear start's to play a part
(Sending) sending daggers to the heart
Dream scenes, forgotten lives
Nightmare noise and blinded eyes
Crudes now and kerosene
Broken glass and strangled dreams
Streets come alive after midnight
Streets come alive after midnight
ย
Scratched up your burning nose
Politics step on your toes
Day-break will bring you back
Bright new lights will make you crack
Streets come alive after midnight
There are no guaranties after midnight
Eyes in the skies after midnight
Fire in the skies after midnight
