Heathen Town Lyrics

They used to call it Sin City, now it's gone way past that Painting the town and then burning it down, now even that's old hat Now there's a choir of angels at the fall of Rome Singing 'Ave Maria' or 'Home Sweet Home'
It's just a heathen town I hear only evil as my tongue is tightened I used to be God-fearing, now I'm so frightened
'Cause the devil will drag you under By the sharp tail fin of your checkered cab And I can't sit down, I'm going overboard in this heathen town
It starts as a flirtation and ends up as an expensive habit With one eye on her place in debtor's prison And the other on a girl dressed as a rabbit Now you can live forever, endure fits and starts The only stake you cannot raise is the one driven through your heart
It's just a heathen town I hear only evil as my tongue is tightened I used to be God-fearing, now I'm so frightened
'Cause the devil will drag you under By the sharp tail fin of your checkered cab And I can't sit down, I'm going overboard in this heathen town
