Their greedy eyes don't realize he's someone's son
Seemed like the hottest night in summer
And he said I'm gonna bring home the things that are out of your clutch
Sirens mocking people stop to see
And how he loved his mama, he loved, he loved her like an Italian
Something in his smile made them feel like strangers
And then he straightened his belt with a lover's touch
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Somewhere in the next block there was a baby crying
Little Janet said you look so fine, so fine
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
A heat that makes you feel like dying
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
He loved his daddy though he never told him
He loved his brother and his sister Luke and Tony called him Mister
They made him feel much more like a man
And as the moon slid up over the restless streets
