Once Bitten Twice Shy

Riots raging in that silent city

Eyes of anger as you hit the street.

(You) don't know much about the art of fighting

But down in your heart you've got some fear to beat

And the night comes slowly - creeping in your mind

Once they got you running

It seems you go down just for one more time

Once bitten, twice shy

You took it easy, but now you fight

Once bitten, fighting back the eyes of night

Hey, bigshot, don't you run for cover

Fear's a sidekick you just can't deny

You can try, but you can never hide it

For out on the streets you're standing eye to eye

When the night comes slowly - darkness all around

Ain't no use in hiding

Just keep a cool head as you stand your ground

Once bitten, twice shy

You took it easy, but now you fight

Once bitten, fighting back the eyes of night

When the night comes slowly - creeping in your mind

Ain't no use in hiding

What's left of yourself, put it on the line

Once bitten, twice shy

You took it easy, but now you fight

Once bitten, fighting back the eyes of night

Once bitten, twice wrong ...
