Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take the words out of my mouth
And throw 'em out the door
I'll follow 'em out and if you want
If you want more
[Verse 2]
Bring a bag, some money
Food stamps, whatever
In this part of town, boy
You get a lot for your money
[Verse 3]
Spending time with family friends
Pleasure in unknown weather
Associates on the landscape
Sovereign from their rulers
[Verse 4]
I braid arrows in my hair and ambush your radio
It's a history lesson, my money's missing
It's how I get my pleasure
[Verse 5]
Chinatown, run aground
Broadway turned it down
Chinatown, run aground
Downtown turned it 'round
[Verse 6]
He waits in the shadows
A black leather jacket
So close are we now
I know he can smell it
[Verse 7]
Our hope, our desire
Our money in hand
On Chinese New Year
We're gonna burn the white dog, man
[Verse 8]
Though all around town there are risks to be taken
Bars to fall out of and asses shakin'
In twenty-four hours, in twenty-four blocks
I couldn't count more faces, understand less talk
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 9]
Chinatown, run aground
Broadway turned it down
Chinatown, run aground
Downtown turned it 'round
[Verse 10]
Chinatown
Chinatown
China, china, chinatown
China, china, chinatown
