Sin city
Budapest, and Bristol too
Paris and Naples
Are too Staples of the choir
Singing the Sin city song
Tokyo is dirty
Prague is a nest of vipers
And New York ranks among the wipers
Clearing mud and crud from screens
What is this sinful sordidness
Seedy alley and dark doorways
Tempting sailors and young men away
From the light side of the road
London's greasy underbelly
Athen's heat strung out their poor
Shanghai's dizzy sparkling lights
Hongkong's techno neon nights
Sinful cities where their snakes bite
Their dogs bear their teeth white
Like lady's of the night whose skin shines bright
As their pimps bark through the dark
From purple suits and fur seats
And twinging red lights that blink
On and off
City limits, borderlines
Who crosses over? Who loses themselves?
In those cities of sin
