- China Town LyricsHeadless body is a topless bar
Warring clans in lowered cars
A buck is still a buck in Shanghai
and a buck is all you earn
A great night for all concerned
Steel fingers play a deadly song
Whole Lotta Shakespeare going on an on and on
It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around
Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
Heroes aren't born, they're cornered
and this corner is where we write the story
Two tribes warring
Downtown after hours
The best to you each morning
Can't survive and think to win
Drugged into sin
Next episode begins and begins and begins and begins
It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around
Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
It's all happening downtown
Welcome to my town, my town, my town!
(Solo)
It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around
Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
Welcome to my town, my town, my town!
Warring clans in lowered cars
A buck is still a buck in Shanghai
and a buck is all you earn
A great night for all concerned
Steel fingers play a deadly song
Whole Lotta Shakespeare going on an on and on
It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around
Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
Heroes aren't born, they're cornered
and this corner is where we write the story
Two tribes warring
Downtown after hours
The best to you each morning
Can't survive and think to win
Next episode begins and begins and begins and begins
It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around
Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
It's all happening downtown
Welcome to my town, my town, my town!
(Solo)
It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around
Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
Welcome to my town, my town, my town!
