Lyrics
Sin City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This old town is filled with sin it swallow you in if you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away you've got three years to pay and Satan is waiting his turn
The scientist say it'll all wash away but we don't believe anymore
Cause we've got our recruits in their green mohair suits
So please show your ID at the door
This old earthquaker's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the 31th floor your gold plated door won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
A fool came around tried to clean up this town his ideas made some people mad
But he trusted in his crowd so he spoke out right loud
And they lost the best friend they ever had
