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
