Flying Burrito Brothers

Sin City

This old town is filled with sin it'll swallow you in

If you've got some money to burn

Take it home right away, you've got three years to pay

But Satan is waiting his turn

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse

It seems like this whole town's insane

On the thirty-first floor a gold-plated door

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

The scientists say it'll all wash away

But we don't believe anymore

'Cause we've got our recruits and our green mohair suits

So please show your I.D. at the door

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse

It seems like this whole town's insane

On the thirty-first floor a gold-plated door

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

A friend came around tried to clean up this town

His ideas made some people mad

He trusted his crowd so he spoke right out loud

And they lost the best friend they had

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse

It seems like this whole town's insane

On the thirty-first floor a gold-plated door

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
