Tyger Bay

(album: Spellbound - 1981)

Look out, nowhere to hide
They don't care down there
It's a hard fight to survive
You'll never be prepared...
See the blood on the sidewalk
Listen to violence talk
Hear the night call
Over the city
The kids begin their war...

Gotta get out
Gotta get away
You'll have to pay
If you stay too long
In Tyger Bay...

The street claims, one more
Life's got no direction
Can't depend on the law
Too much frustration...
Women gaze from red windows
In expensive rags
Selling themselves to shadows
Can't hide their scars...

Gotta get out
Gotta get away
You'll have to pay
If you stay too long
In Tyger Bay...

What can I do, What can I say
To change the situation
You're on your own, no helping hand
So lost and alone...
People don't care, they always stay
Away from the place
Get out while you can
There's too much hate...

Gotta get out
Gotta get away
You'll have to pay
If you stay too long
In Tyger Bay...

Get out

Tyger Bay
