hell of a town

Joe Jackson

It?s a hell of a town
There?s smoke coming up through the holes in the ground
It?s a hell of a town
Plenty of devils for taking you down
Any time of night and day

It?s a hell of a town
Getting drunk on the tears of a clown
It?s a hell of a town
Steppin? out in a bulletproof gown
So get out of my goddamn way

I?m walking here
I?m talking here

It?s a hell of a town
Swimming out where the ships run aground
It?s a hell of a town
Always room on the merry-go-round
So step up and be damned today

I?m walking here
I?m talking here
