Heathen Town

歌詞

We used to call it Sin City Now it's gone way past that Painting the town and then burning it down And even that's old hat Now there's a choir of angles at the fall of Rome Singing "Ave Maria" Or "Home Sweet Home" It's just a heathen town I hear only evil as my tongue is tightened I used to be god-fearing Now I'm so frightened 'Cause the devil will drag you under By the sharp tailfin of your checkered cab And I can't sit down I'm going overboard in this heathen town Starts as an a flirtation And ends up as an expensive habit With one eye on her place in debtor's prison And the other on a girl dressed as a rabbit Now you can live forever In your fits and starts But the only stake you cannot raise Is the one driven through your heart It's just a heathen town I hear only evil as my tongue is tightened I used to be god-fearing Now I'm, I'm so frightened 'Cause the devil will drag you under By the sharp tailfin of your checkered cab And I can't sit down I'm going overboard in this heathen town And I can't sit down I'm going overboard in this heathen town In this heathen town In this heathen town In this heathen town In this heathen town
