Heathen Town
We used to call it Sin CityNow it's gone way past that.Painting the townAnd then burning it down.And even that's old hat.Now there' a choir of anglesAnd the fall of RomeSinging "Ave Maria"Or "Home Sweet Home"[Chorus:]It's just a heathen townI hear only evilAs my tongue is tightened.I used to be god-fearingNow I'm so frightened'cause the devil will drag you underBy the sharp tailfinOf your checkered cab (?)Now I can't sit down,I'm going overboardIn this heathen town.Starts as an a flirtationAnd ends up as an expensive habit.With one eye on her place in debtor'sLetras de cancionesAnd the other on a girlDressed as a rabbit.Now you can live foreverIn your fits and startsThe only stake you cannot raiseIs the one driven through your heart.[Chorus]The people all said sit down,Sit down you're rocking the boat.The people all said sit down,Sit down you're rocking the boat.Cause the devil will drag you underBy the sharp lapels of your checkered coat.Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,Sit down you're rocking the boat.
