Heathen Town

They used to call it Sin City, not 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-fearin'

Now I'm, 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 goin' overboard, in this heathen town

It starts as a flirtation and ends up as an expensive habit

With one eye on her place, and the other on a girl dressed as a rabbit

Now, you can live forever, endure fits and starts

But 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-fearin'

Now I'm, 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 goin' overboard, in this heathen town

And I can't sit down, I'm goin' overboard, in this heathen town, ever

In this heathen town

In this heathen town

In this heathen town

In this heathen town
