Lyrics
Chinatown

Got a room about 20 feet wide
There's a blue light bulb
Hanging from the sky
Threw a mattress on the floor where we can hide
Hold my hand to the subway door
I can make us invisible
All the way to Chinatown
Steam is rising from the street below
Neon sign like a carnival
You bring the color to a grey rainbow
My guitar and a bottle of the red
So much pain that I want to forget
On our way to Chinatown
Take you over to my side of town
Show you how the real world gets down
Trouble I thought I could hold you down
All the way to Chinatown
Sheets of rain banging on the window
Turning into a blanket of snow
Getting good of pulling over the wool
Miles away there's another world
I know I am the luckiest girl
Found my heart in Chinatown
Take you over to my side of town
Show you how the real world gets down
Trouble I thought I could hold you down
All the way to Chinatown
