This old town 's filled with sin
It'll swallow you in
If you got some money to burn
Take it home right away
You've got three years to pay
The city is waiting his turn
(chorus)
This old earthquake 's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this old town 's insane
On the thirty-first floor, a gold plated door
Won't keep out the lord's burning rain
The scientist say, it will all wash away
But we don't, believe anymore
So we got our recruit
And a green mohair suit
So please show your I.D. at the door
(chorus)
A friend came around, tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he thrusted his crowd, so he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they had
(chorus)
