They say he came from Fourth Street
Now the whole block's locked down
His shots drew the city's heat
You just can't shake that sound
And I was living on Scott
Out on the porch I stood
The police brought all they got
Dogs would have caught if they could
Stay indoors, kiss your floors, call your parents back
Fear for more, close the stores, smoke another pack
Murder Town, learn the sound, yeah life here is so cheap
Wilmington, Delaware, life here makes me weep
In the alley cops stood guard
Helicopters overhead
Loaded guns cross our yard
Have they lost the thread
Next day I turn on the news
Unsure of what I'd seen
They say he's still on the loose
A short kid, age fifteen
Stay indoors, kiss your floors, and call your parents back
Fear for more, blame the poor, and smoke another pack
Murder Town, well it gets you down 'cause life here is so cheap
Wilmington, Delaware, life here cannot keep
Stay indoors, kiss your floors, and call your parents back
Fear for more, blame the poor, and smoke another pack
Murder Town, well it gets you down 'cause life here is so cheap
Wilmington, Delaware, life here cannot keep
