Les Enfants Terribles past-members-nav-header

I saw a man get killed last night, under the lights of Brighton
Didn’t think it could happen so close to home, in the dark of the night of Brighton
I saw a house burn down lasy night, under the lights of Brighton
No more trouble I wish to come, under the lights of Brighton

I ran for my life last night, down the streets of Brighton
Chased by a car I didn’t know, under the lights of Brighton
Why do you think it’s safe at night, under the lights of Brighton
Wait ’til you don’t come home some night from under the lights of Brighton

(Solo)

I saw a man beat up last night, under the lights of Brighton
I tried to help but no one cared, under the lights of Brighton
Somebody stole your car tonight from under the lights of Brighton
Well don’t expect to see it again, under the lights of Brighton

I saw a man get robbed last night, under the lights of Brighton
And nobody stopped to watch him die, under the lights of Brighton
Someday soon you may be the one, under the lights of Brighton
To fight for your life and I hope you win, under the lights of Brighton
