I hear the ambulance come from down the road
I don't know where it goes
I hear a baby crying, where did he go?
She just doesn't know
There's a spot in the night at the edge of the road
Where everybody comes and everybody goes
There's a spot in the at the edge of the road
There's a spot in the corner reserved for the mourners
Under the streetlights, the streetlights
And they all start singing for the boy who was slinging
Under the streetlights, streetlights
Streetlights, streetlights, streetlights, streetlights
I hear a mother crying "Where is he?"
And it's just past three
Because now her baby's lying out on the street
That's where he bleeds
There's a spot in the night at the edge of the road
Where everybody comes and everybody goes
There's a spot in the at the edge of the road
There's a spot in the corner reserved for the mourners
Under the streetlights, the streetlights
And they all start singing for the boy who was slinging
Under the streetlights, streetlights
And that mother's crying, she keeps on denying what happened that night, there was a street fight
They try to console her, but they can't control her
He shone so bright, just like the streetlights
Streetlights, streetlights, streetlights, streetlights
There's a spot in the corner reserved for the mourners
Under the streetlights, the streetlights
And they all start singing for the boy who was slinging
Under the streetlights, streetlights
And that mother's crying, she keeps on denying what happened that night, there was a street fight
They try to console her, but they can't control her
He shone so bright, just like the streetlights
Streetlights, streetlights, streetlights, streetlights
Streetlights, streetlights
