SIN CITY

georges collinet: "it's 5 AM in central Brooklyn... etc...

alien carnival barker: "hurry hurry! step right this way!

(a carnival in Brooklyn aka J'ouvert rages on...)

(weary partier moves down a side street...
drops a coin in da boi's guitar case...)

(da boi and The Spectacular Inimitables wake up...)

This old town is filled with sin
It'll swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away
You've got three years to pay
And Satan is waiting his turn

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

Well, the scientists say it'll all wash away
But we don't believe anymore
'Cause we've got our recruits
In their green mohair suits
So please show your I.D. at the door

(chorus)

(Sammy Organ solo...)

(chorus)

A fool came around tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted in his crowd
So he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they had

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

Yeah on the thirty-first floor the gold-plated
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain...

(J'ouvert rages on... alien barker: hurry hurry! step right this way...)
