Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Standing in the shadows of a moonlit night
Hanging around just waiting for a fight
No money in your pocket, you want to go home
You can't understand and you can't do no wrong
Hanging around, you know what to do, yeah
It's not your fault, no, it's not your fault

[Pre Chorus]
And you can't (no you can't)
Escape, oh no no
Back streets won't let you

And you can't (no you can't)
Run away
Back streets won't let you

[Chorus]
You're sitting by the phone(?) in the slums we know
Unless you change your ways [?]
Living in the dungeons of the slums
You'd like to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

Yeah-iiii
Uh

[Verse 2]
Sneaking through the back streets during the day
You're keeping bad company, can't get away
Got up this morning went out for a job
Another interview but you didn't get far
Get into trouble just fooling around, yeah
It's not your fault, no, it's not your fault

[Pre Chorus]
And you can't (no you can't)
Escape, oh no no
Back streets won't let you

And you can't (no you can't)
Run away
Back streets won't let you

[Chorus]
You're sitting by the phone(?) in the slums we know
Unl?ss you change your ways [?]
Living in the dungeons of th? slums
You'd like to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

[Breakdown]
[Chorus]
You're sitting by the phone(?) in the slums we know
Unless you change your ways [?]
Living in the dungeons of the slums
You'd like to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

[Pre Chorus]
And you can't (no you can't)
Escape, oh no no
Back streets won't let you

And you can't (no you can't)
Run away
Back streets won't let you

[Chorus]
You're sitting by the phone(?) in the slums we know
Unless you change your ways [?]
Living in the dungeons of the slums
You'd like to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

[Pre Chorus]
And you can't (no you can't)
Escape, oh no no
Back streets won't let you
And you can't (no you can't)
Run away
Back streets won't let you

And you can't (no you can't)
Escape, oh no no
Back streets won't let you

And you can't (no you can't)
Run away
Back streets won't let you

And you can't (no you can't)
Escape, oh no no
