There is a scream in the alley
There is a crash of shattering glass
There is a child running with a weapon
There is a dead rat in the trash

Fact or fiction I can't tell
Fact from fiction in this living hell

There is a siren wailing in the distance
There is a screech of flesh on wheels
There is a red light flashing "warning"
There is a madman and he's making a deal

Fact or fiction I can't tell
Fact from fiction in this living hell

There is a knock on the back door
There is a noise from down the stairs
There is a monkey carrying a white flag
There is a dead man who didn't care

Fact or fiction I can't tell
Fact from fiction in this living hell
