Chinatown

[Verse 1] Take the cable car to Jackson It's a Friday night affair Madam Rose's legendary honeycomb With an ounce of intuition You can feel it in the air This working boy has found a place to roam As some familiar faces Watch every move you make And the midnight gangs are snaking through the alleyway Where they used to play [Chorus] Down in Chinatown (woah-oh-woah-oh) Where the nights are always longer than the days Down in Chinatown (woah-oh-woah-oh) With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay Hey, yeah [Verse 2] There's a lair below the city Where the bottom dwellers go Trying to find that thrill they've never known A woman bores the absinthe As the paper lanterns glow I think Ms. Jones is better left alone The corridors are endless It's not hard to lose your way Where old men smoke and gamble into Saturday Do you want to play? [Chorus] [Bridge] If the California street line Is the only way you know You might want to play it safe Down on Grant Avenue Where he waits for you [Chorus]
