Hallowed Ground Lyrics - The Innocents - Erasure

Everybody's intent on killing someone 

The streets are closed and there's a kid on the run 

The bullets scream out from gun to gun 

Everybody's intent on being someone 

The cold and darkness of the criminal dawn 

Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep themselves warm 

A child in the arms of a teenage mom 

Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn? 

Old friends meet on the edge of town 

Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better 

While the children meet, got the world at their feet 

Not knowing what's around the corner 

Are we living for an uncertain future?

Down by the corner sits a broken man 

Lives by the bottle, swears never again 

Lost his money on the dogs and gin 

He looks for his supper in garbage can 

The kids hang around by the old school ground 

Right by the river where the body was found 

Throwing stones on hallowed ground 

Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn? 

Old friends meet on the edge of town 

Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better 

While the children meet, got the world at their feet 

Not knowing what's around the corner 

Are we living for an uncertain future? 

Can you hear them calling? 

In the cold and darkness of the criminal dawn 

Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep ourselves warm 

A child in the arms of a teenage mom 

Who will be there, who will be the last victim of the criminal dawn?
