Toto - Chinatown lyrics
[Toto - Chinatown lyrics]
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 the midnight gangs are
Snaking through the alleyway
Where they used to play
Down in Chinatown (woah oh woah oh)
Where the nights are always
Longer than the days
Down in Chinatown (woah oh woah oh)
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?
If the California street line
Is the only way you know
You might want to play it safe
Down on Grant Avenue where he wait's for you
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 the midnight gangs are
Snaking through the alleyway
Where they used to play
Down in Chinatown (woah oh woah oh)
Where the nights are always
Longer than the days
Down in Chinatown (woah oh woah oh)
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?
If the California street line
Is the only way you know
You might want to play it safe
Down on Grant Avenue where he wait's for you
