[Instrumental Intro: Slow, smoky saxophone solo, rain sound effects] [Verse 1] The rain was washing the grit off Neon Street, But it couldn't wash away the blood. He walked into my office, smelling of expensive colone And cheap lies. [Chorus] Oh, the city sleeps with one eye open, Shadows dancing on the cobblestone. In the dark, a promise gets broken, And a man walks these alleys alone. [Bridge: Dramatic trumpet swell, tension building] [Outro: Fade out on a lonely trumpet, vinyl crackle]
