Chinatown Revisited
In the heatwave night
Somebody opened up a fire hydrant
To cool the street
In the shadowlight, she lights a candle by the bed
And lays her cool hands on me
She said, Baby, don't go to Chinatown
All night a man keeps calling
He won't say who it is, just that
The house of cards is falling
The house of cards is falling
The wind came up, it began to rain
I ducked down the subway stairs
In the mirror of the cigarette machine
I stopped and combed my hair
See, I tried to protect her
But now I need protection myself
I used to lose, I'd lose alone, what'd it matter
But now I got to think about somebody else
Like a city within a city
There are places of danger within the heart
Streets no man must walk alone after dark
I saw a way things could be for us, like a vision came to me
Like a light at the end of the hall
But these men, they go down, they'll take me with 'em
They fall tonight and I too will fall
I make the sign of the cross
As the train pulls down into the tunnel
My heart's pounding so hard II can't thinl
I win, man I win really big
I lose, I lose everything, everything, everything
Like a city within a city
There are places of danger
Within the heart
Streets no man must walk alone after dark
In the heatwave night
Somebody opened up a fire hydrant
To cool the street
In the shadowlight, she lights a candle by the bed
And lays her cool hands on me
Baby don't go to Chinatown
Baby don't go to Chinatown
