Lyrics Broken-hearted Town I come home to a Chinatown flat The smell of grease and soy sauce in the kitchen Been two days since I last came back Cause I’ve never let no one make my decisions So I never thought that I’d be here to tell you these things. Take the steps ‘bove a nail salon Old men in muscle T’s playing their wages Buy the drinks for everyone Everyone needs comfort in their cages And I never thought that I’d be here to say what I’ve been doing. Decks of cards and smoky bars and debts scrawled out in matchbooks Mah jong tiles and jaded smiles all rusted like old fishhooks Tried to cope but I got hope mixed up with feeling lucky And luck can’t heal the pain I feel that’s beating up inside me CHORUS: I know I never was good at loving you before; Know I was never around. But maybe you and I could still make something of it Inside this broken-hearted, broken-hearted town. Saw you there on the factory floor Loved you from the corner of my eye Looked at me, like a slamming door And I decided then and there I would pry. And I never thought that I’d be here to try once again. Eleven years been living here and what can I show for it? Your love for me became pity and still I could ignore it. But the American way meant bills to pay; it just got too demanding For take-out stands leave scalded hands and back pains from the standing. CHORUS
