Sin City

Lyrics

This old town is filled with sin,
 It'll swallow you in
 If you've got some money to burn.
 (So) Take it home right away,
 You've got three years to pay
 But Satan is waiting his turn.
 This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house.
 It seems like this whole town's insane.
 On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
 Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
 The scientists say
 It'll all wash away
 But we don't believe any more
 Cause we've got our recruits
 And our green mohair suits
 So please show you ID At the door.
 This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house.
 It seems like this whole town's insane.
 On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
 Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
 A friend came around.
 Tried to clean up this town.
 His ideas made some people mad.
 Cause he trusted his crowd,
 So he spoke right out loud,
 And they lost the best friend they had.
 This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house.
 It seems like this whole town's insane.
 On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
 Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
 On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
 Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
 On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
 Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
