Shots ring out in Paris, the bells ring out in Rome Photo's in the paper, buy you're getting old Footsteps in the car park he's the governor of the night The omens say crime don't pay but each dog has its price When two worlds collide The tears well inside When two worlds collide A boy is found in Naples, body's in a ditch Young life counts for nothing when somebody's getting rich There's flowers on the table, he sips water she drinks wine I don't think that mercy is the language of our time When two worlds collide The tear drops inside When two worlds collide You break me up inside Backstreet of Chicago a black man plays the gold There's a man on every corner says he'd like to buy your soul Buddhists in the temple, bullets in the night Stepping out of their world, into your world, into mine in the jet black night The tears well inside When two worlds collide You break me up inside Two worlds collide
