[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sundown and th
e bells are wa
rning
Did I miss the
mailman again
?
No-o, he had n
othing for me
And nobody cal
led today
And no one kno
ws what to say
Black sun is b
eating down
On Chinatown
[Verse 2]
All-l of the s
weetest flower
s
They grow up o
n the sunny si
de
But down here,
it's the dark
est hour
And we run the
other way
And midnight t
o yesterday
And we're alwa
ys upside down
In Chinatown
[Verse 3]
Oh-h, though I
tried to mana
ge
You don't unde
rstand my mind
Our love used
to speak in Sp
anish
There's a pois
on in the air
And fever's ev
erywhere
Bad haze that
hangs around
In Chinatown
[Outro]
Baa-d haze tha
t hangs around
.
In Chinatown
