Chinatown

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 at midnight games are snaking through the alleyway

Where they used to play

Down in Chinatown..woah

Where the nights are always longer than the days

Down in Chinatown..woah

With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay

Hey yeah

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?

Down in Chinatown..woah

Where the nights are always longer than the days

Down in Chinatown..woah

With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay

Hey yeah

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

Down in Chinatown..woah

Where the nights are always longer than the days

Down in Chinatown..woah

With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay

Hey yeah
