Where No Flowers Grown

from S​/​T by Voight-Kampff

lyrics

My streets are filled with violent tales
a man stomped in with face all torn up
a dead kitten on the sidewalk
where all the children on the block stalk
my streets are streets where violence prevails
the alleys where the kids shoot up
there's desolation in the streets I walk
don't hear the neighbors on their stoops talk
you see too much and your dreams are haunted
try it your way in the streets you're taunted
and I don't mean to be
walkin round this lonely block no more

Who do you turn to?
Where do you go?
Not into that cold cold night where no flowers grow
What do you want, kid?
What do you know?
Don't turn to that cold cold night where your blood will flow

Some men could stand for second-best
and some men won't care
some men could stand to be obsessed
and some men want air
ten men would speak the same
and three others won't
ten men would live in vain and yeah
three others won't

In bed I hear the shots ring out
across our raw polluted town
I've thought about it and I've got no doubts
that it's this city gettin me down
see the bloodstains on the sidewalk
and watch the roaches climb my walls
and over in the kitchen faucet's leakin waterfalls
