Charly

Down in the southern part of town
Where the moon is unfaithful
Charly's speeding like hell
Delivering pizzas to a motel

The scooter
Seems like an extension of him
It goes, like an arrow
That night owl steed

In that part of town
A deal went south
The shooting started
How'd you cross paths, kid!

The scooter
The steed rolled on the ground
The t-shirt
Didn’t shield his heart

The sirens wail
That night has a story to tell
He lived on tips, on a small paycheck
And a big dream, now, fleeting

Down in the southern part of town
Today, they’re burying Charly
The news reported
They couldn’t catch them!

Pretty girl
Crying for the kid
Why Charly? Why
If he never hurt anyone?

The sirens wail
That night has a story to tell
He lived on tips, on a small paycheck
And a dream, now, fleeting

The sirens wail
That night has a story to tell
He lived on tips, on a small paycheck
A big dream, and nothing more
