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   

 [bad word]    

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   

 [bad word] (2 times)   

The dreaming children sleep tight   
In silent visions they play   
Down on [bad word]   
Street midnight is bright   
But tell your story the way it's in your mind
