Sin City Songtext
von Gram Parsons

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
But Satan is waiting his turn

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


The scientists say
It'll all wash away
But we don′t believe any more
'Cause we′ve got our recruits
And our green mole hair suits
So please show you ID at the door

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

A friend came around
Tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
He trusted 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 poor house
It seems like this whole town′s insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord′s burning rain


On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord′s burning rain
