The city k**s s**s you dry Brings you down Makes you high Broken gla** Broken bones Broken dreams And broken homes There's no answer when you look around For somewhere 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 a thrill There's no answer when you look around For somewhere out of this dirty town Dirty town 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 can go forever The sun goes down The night grows in The hustlers get paid From the wages of sin Wheelers and dealers Will play all their cards Life would be easy If it wasn't so hard There's no answer when you look around For somewhere out of this dirty town For somewhere out of this dirty town For somewhere out of this dirty town For somewhere out of this dirty town Dirty town Dirty town Dirty town
