Let me take you down
To the lonely part of town
Where the light grows dim at the end of the day
When the sun goes down
The strangers frown
And the paranoia just won’t go away
Where the homeless sleep
The broken hearted weep
And love and life always go wrong
Where morals are cheap
The road to happiness steep
And life favours the rich and the strong
The working girls walk their beat
Getting ready to cheat
Any mug punter who comes their way
Through rain, snow and sleet
They try to stay off their feet
Tomorrow, from being open, their thighs will be ache
Who will wear the next crown
When the current dealer goes down ?
And briefly enjoy the rule of his court
But you won’t hear a sound
Of protest as he’s sent down
Was it worth all the battles he fought
Let me take you away
From this evil, drugged place
Where’s pleasure is fleeting and life is always cheap
Let’s leave it today
Never come back again
Pretend it’s something we saw in our sleep
