lyrics

No Breathing Space – Mark Bishop Evans 8721

Echoing wham from a dumpster-lid slam, ricochet down a dark alley
Rain gutter ran with the sap of a man, like red rivers flow thru the valley

Mournful refrain from a western bound train drifts thru the dark clinging mist
Silhouettes claim every part of the flame while their dark shadows flicker and twist

An unwanted child from a woman beguiled grows distorted by pain and disgrace
Street scum get piled on these humans defiled and beauty has no breathing space

Night creatures prowl ‘neath a moon-tinted cowl, alert to each movement and sound
Alley-cats howl in a can rank and foul, interrupted while making their rounds

Instrumental

Cop-rubber squeals when hot on the heels of a suspect for grand-auto-theft
Blood clots congeal on a blade of bright steel as a victim lies curled in cold death

An unwanted child from a woman beguiled grows distorted by pain and disgrace
Street scum get piled on these humans defiled and beauty has no breathing space
