Hit Me with the News

The city beats but with a broken heart
The young and restless light candles in the park
She holds your picture
Inside she cries
She knows your secret
Don’t tell me any lies
Hit me, hit me, hit me with the news
Hit me, hit me, hit me with the news
Hit me, hit me, hit me with the news
Hit me, hit me
The screaming colors of the clashing lights
The crazy money that passes
Through the night
The moving shadows on empty walls
So tell me how you could
Give in to it all
The dreaming children sleep tight
In silent visions they play
Down on hell
Street midnight is bright
But tell your story the way it’s in your mind
