Street Child by Kevin Middleton

Street Child

Don't go out in the dark, girl.
Don't go out alone.
There's danger in the air and it's coming for you,
Don't go out on your own.
Evil lurks in the streets tonight,
And evil lurks within.
Don't go out on the streets tonight,
Out on the streets of sin.

Baby, Baby can you hear them call?
Can you hear them call your name?
In the middle of the night,
When the cold sets in,
And you know it's gonna set again.
Baby, Baby, Can you hear them call?
Can you hear them call your name?
Child of the street, child of the night,
The streets are filled with pain.

Don't go out in the dark, girl.
Don't you run away.
The lights of the city, though they call your name,
There's gonna be hell to pay.
Your body's all they want,
And they'll take your soul,
The lights are burning bright,
Don't go out, no, don't go out,
Baby can you feel the cold?

The world's just an oyster,
And you be the pearl,
But the pearl it lose it's sheen.
A moment on the streets and it takes you down,
Never knowing just how mean.
Listen to the sound of them calling you.
The streets they shine so bright,
But your soul's been sold to the vendor below,
So don't you go out tonight.

Oh my baby in the middle of the night,
Whose gonna love you then?
In the middle of the night,
When the cold sets in
And you know it's gonna set again.
Baby, Baby, can you hear them call?
Can you hear them call your name?
You can't run away, no, you can't run away,
The streets are filled with pain.
