It's a hell of a town

There's smoke coming up through the holes in the ground

It's a hell of a town

Plenty of devils for taking you down

Any time of night and day



It's a hell of a town

Getting drunk on the tears of a clown

It's a hell of a town

Steppin' out in a bulletproof gown

So get out of my goddamn way



I'm walking here

I'm talking here



It's a hell of a town

Swimming out where the ships run aground

It's a hell of a town

Always room on the merry-go-round

So step up and be damned today



I'm walking here

I'm talking here
