The Ghetto — текст песни (Marc Almond)

Here I am, standing all alone.
Seems like I`m a thousand miles from home.
You know that never did I have a friend.
You know I never had a dollar that I could lend.
And sometimes I get down on my knees
And I wonder if He sees.
New York City is where I`m from.
Down there in the ghetto, where you don`t come.
Seems like my life has passed me by.
And you tell me, tears of joy,
But I tell you, I cry!
And sometimes I get down on my knees
And I wonder if He sees.
Don`t give me liquor for my pain.
All my friends they never came back again.
Nowhere to run, there`s nowhere to hide.
Just me in the ghetto with you looking in from outside.
And sometimes I get down on my knees
And I wonder if He sees.
