Avenues - Jonny Two Bags

Running in slow motion through the neighborhood tonight

Dodging bullets by the light of the moon

Smoke a wet one to your head

Now your heart is full of lead

Left for dead on the avenues tonight

When the sirens wail and the dogs begin to howl

Salvation is nowhere to be found

A demon called «vendetta» rules these avenues tonight

A demon gonna burn this place to the ground

Off the freeway stands a house built for every man

Now it hides behind a 12-foot chain-link fence

And business is on the boom with a mouthful of balloons

Another kid jumps into the family trade

The moon is full and bright on a long, hot summer night

Mother weeps but she doesn’t make a sound

Her child is gone.

Saw it on the evening news

Another night down on the avenues

Un sonbreso por mis hijos, por mis sombrinos tambien

Un sonbreso por mis hermanos y los de todo mas

When the sirens wail and the dogs begin to howl

Salvation is nowhere to be found

A demon called «vendetta» rules these avenues tonight

A demon gonna burn this place down

Another night down on the avenues
