In the dark with the Oakland skyline
As I cross the city I avoid the landmines
All I wanna do is make it through without dyin'
All I wanna do is keep on tryin'

Another night in the streets for me
Another night no sanctuary
Another night come and watch me bleed
Another night in the streets for me

She wouldn't move until the coast was clear
She always knew the final battle was near
If you got a bag of dope she'll give it up for
free
If you got a song of hope it will help her see

Another night in the streets for me
Another night no sanctuary
Another night come and watch me bleed
Another night in the streets for me

In the dark lookin' up at the skyline...
