Chinatown

(album: Favorite Waitress - 2014)

Some say nighttime's the right time
Well, for me and my kind
Night ride with the bikers with the best man
Heard you left with blonde Bazi from the projects
It must feel like your first love's fading
Spelling some dirty word, hold me pal
Afraid to say, but your favorite waitress is gone

Nights full of mystery
We've got some history
This whole town's an excuse for
A million liquor stores
Before I make the rounds
In this Chinatown

I'll rewind the tape of King Kong
So I can cheer along
See the ape come alive again
Leave the island, married at ten
I always knew that love was no good
A king like you deserves the world
Every marriage, true damn savage

Nights full of mystery
This ship could use a mutiny
Just keep away from the criminal
And meet me in the coat room
Before I make for home
It's Chinatown
