The city k**s, s**s you dry Brings you down, makes you high Broken gla**, broken bones Broken dreams and broken homes CHORUS There's no answer when you look around For some way out of this dirty town, dirty town Hookers in doorways, in their disguise Just kids on the corner with neon in their eyes Neighbourhood girls just dressed up for the k** Lonely old boys going down for the thrill CHORUS There's a place I could take you one day There's a place we could go together
Beyond the gasworks out into nowhere There's a place we could go forever The sun goes down the night rolls in The hustlers get paid from the wages of sin Wheelers and dealers they play all their cards Life would be easy if it wasn't so hard There's no answer when you look around For some way out of this dirty town For some way out of this dirty town For some way out of this dirty town For some way out of this dirty town Dirty town Dirty town Dirty town
