Sirens heard down the street
Getting closer with every beat
What happened
What went down
Was someone shot
Did the criminal get found
Spinning lights and sirens approach
The house across the street
Crime scene tape soon surrounds the place
I walk outside
I hear the word gunshot
I hear the words dead man
A broken window
Is all I see
Soon My neighbor is wheeled out on a stretcher
He was the dead man
Wife and children nowhere to be found
Investigation moves on
I don\'t know
I don\'t understand
This was such a nice place to live
Now this happens
Everyone standing there is questioned by the cops
I tell them what I know
The cops thank us and move on
Detectives search for clues
Then back up and leave
I go back to bed
And wait
