Picture yourself in the street with a camera
You're in the right place at just the right time
Somebody robs the Great Western on Sunset
And you're there to capture the crime
Sirens are screaming on cars black and white
As you run videotape
Look for the footage to sell to the news
And you're on ...

Bullets in the sky on Highland...

Follow the cops as they hide from the gunfire
You're getting good stuff for the five o'clock news
Everyone gasps as you suffer a flesh wound
And blood drips right on your brown shoes
News trucks appear but they're late for the scoop
You were the first on the scene
Thinking of thousands the networks will pay
And you're gone

Bullets in the sky on Highland

Picture yourself in the hands of a surgeon
You find yourself coming around
You then remember you broke your new camera
And tape spooled out onto the ground

Bullets in the sky on highland....OH!
