The dance halls are deserted, not even Bingo haunts them now
There's no-one on the streets
Everybody's home frightened, hiding behind drawn curtains
Cos, they've seen it on TV
And what am I doing here?
Must be crazy, to come on a night like this
Yeah, I must be crazy but there's something I couldn't miss
I hear a shot ring loud and clear from somewhere across the block
Voices crying out in anger and others stunned and shocked
I see a man whose had too much to drink, don't know what's going on
Like a baby left alone at night, crying out for his mum
This is madness
What am I doing here?
Must be crazy, to come on a night like this
Must be crazy, but there's something I couldn't miss
They say some guys are looting and I can't say I'm surprised
Stocking up on Nike while others stoke the fires
I couldn't take in anymore, had to see it for myself
They were so certain you'd be fine, but just saying so didn't help
And what were you doing there?
You say you weren't arrested and nothing happened there
The TV tells me otherwise and that part leaves me scared
You asked if you just heard me right, have I been taken in?
Am I sure I'm not mistaken, so certain of what I'm seen?
This is madness
And what am I doing here?
Must be crazy, to come on a night like this
Yeah, I must be crazy but there's something I couldn't miss
Must be crazy, to come on a night like this
Yeah, I must be crazy but there's something I couldn't miss
Must be crazy, to come on a night like this
