Some people say this city is block by block
Some places you should go and some you should not
Let your nightmare guide your footsteps
Let your fear draw the map
Oh, better safe than sorry
With a gun against your back
Roll up your windows and lock your doors
Perhaps it is a fiction but it's one you can't ignore
Go back home and sleep soundly on the right side of the tracks
They don't want your dreams to linger with the cold hard facts
It's a sundown town
oh people like you they shouldn't hang around
Won't take long to figure out
oh people like you they shouldn't hang around
Well if you try to find me
I'll be safe here at home
I want maximum security,
I detest the unknown
There are thousands out there like me
All nestled in their shells
We'll watch others fight for freedom
From the safety of their cells
