Chinatown

Lying from the doorway couldn't be bad

That slipper racing green they had

Leaves me a sweet taste on my fingertips

Can no one in this city light a cigarette?

Nothing tastes as guilty as the sugar on my lips

I couldn't keep away from Chinatown

I was back there every day to get my fill

I think about it and I can't keep still

I think about it and I can't

I raced up the stone steps, lingered on the strip

To see my darkened windows lit

Light from a candle flickering within

In red and yellow and mandarin

I took some photographs that came to nothing

I couldn't keep away from Chinatown

I was back there every day to get my fill

I think about it and I can't keep still

I think about it and I can't

I couldn't keep away from Chinatown

I was back there every day to get my fill

I think about it and I can't keep still

I think about it and I can't keep still
