Shots ring out in Paris, the bells ring out in Rome   Your photo's in the paper, buy you're getting old   Footsteps in the carpark 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, his body's in a ditch   His young life counts for nothing when somebody's getting rich   There's flowers on the table, he sips water she drinks wine   And I don't think that mercy is the language of our time      When two worlds collide   The teardrops 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   Bhuddists in the temple, bullets in the night   Steeping 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
