It went down on one December night
Cold as hell and the snow was white
Frozen shadows from a frozen moon
All tinged in blue
Close the windows lock the door tonight
So the neighbors won't hear the fight
Plug your ears and shut your eyes real tight
You just might see a tinge of blue
The boys up there on second avenue
Didn't say much but they all knew
There was nothing that they could do
But witness a tinge of blue
Call the judge we need his help tonight
Or the boy might just lose the fight
Nothing here that the doctor would do
Except say it's another tinge of blue
The boys up there on second avenue
Didn't say much but they all knew
Nothing they could say or nothing they could do
But witness another tinge of blue
Witness another tinge of blue
