[Sinner, Shirley] Face to face ... with evil eyes He's got a gun, he's got the might He's called the idol of the youth The fear of the old A lone wolf with my sympathy alone in the cold He lives his life he was reckless Hardened by his life, he sees through lies He lives his life, he was reckless At the scene of a crime [Chorus 1:] Trashed by the night, run for your life The scene of a crime Trashed by the night, run for your life The scene of a crime The outlaw was breathless He destroyed the deceit But he went two steps too far The state was in riot Politicians keep ... their smiling faces [Chorus 2:] Not one line, not one word in the news Sacrificed by the law He was living his stolen life... That left him bloody and raw [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2 & 1] [Chorus 1] Trashed by the night The scene ... of a crime
