Chinatown Lyrics - Vonda Shepard

Got a room about 20 feet wide 

There's a blue light bulb 

Hanging from the sky 

Threw a mattress on the floor where we can hide 

Hold my hand to the subway door 

I can make us invisible 

All the way to Chinatown 

Steam is rising from the street below 

Neon sign like a carnival 

You bring the color to a grey rainbow 

My guitar and a bottle of the red 

So much pain that I want to forget 

On our way to Chinatown 

Take you over to my side of town 

Show you how the real world gets down 

Trouble, I thought I could hold you down 

All the way to Chinatown 

Sheets of rain banging on the window 

Turning into a blanket of snow 

Getting good of pulling over the wool 

Miles away there's another world 

I know I am the luckiest girl 

Found my heart in Chinatown 

Take you over to my side of town 

Show you how the real world gets down 

Trouble, I thought I could hold you down 

All the way to Chinatown
