Well you can't go here
And you can't go there
The police say
You can't go anywhere
Can't make it up to heaven
We got no place to land
Guns and war
And clubs in their hand

Do you think we'll see the light
Before the blood hits the street
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f- way

There's a broke-down shack
Out on alphabet street
Take a streetcar named desire
If you can take the heat
There's a yellow-haired snake
That can get us in for free
With her gaslight stories
And a body like you wouldn't believe

Do you think we'll see the light
Before the blood hits the street
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f- way

We got a weasel in the pot
Filthy romance all around
Orpheus is descending
On the hellish side of town
Let's try to get ourselves
A front row seat
Orpheus and what's-her-name
This is gonna be sweet

Darkness has found us
With the blood up to our knees
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f- way
