Well it was dark at midnight

There was hardly any moon

And no one really saw much

No one was really sure

But something didn't seem right

Something seemed kinda queer

The roar turned into whispers

Everyone stood t here

When the sounds fit the night

Something hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night

Well I didn't see them shotguns

I didn't see no knife

I saw this crazy black guy

With a demon in his eyes

I heard him say "white man"

I've seen that silver cue

You don't remember me well

But I remember you

When the sounds fit the night

Something hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night

Well the knife just left his fingers

As the black guy took his aim

White guys head exploded

My God how much pain

And then everybody scattered

I heard some woman scream

"God damn you old black bastard

You've blown away my dreams"

When the sounds fit the night

Something hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night
