This Old Town
Take it home right away
You got three years to pay
But Satan is waiting his turn
The scientists say
It will all wash away
But we don't
Believe anymore
Cause we've got
Our recruits
And our green mohair suits
So please show
Your ID at the door
There's no earthquake
It's gonna leave me
In the poorhouse
Yeah
It seems like
This Old Town's insane
On the 31st floor
A gold-plated door
Won't keep out
The Lord's burning rain
A friend came around
Tried to clean up this town
His ideas
Made some people mad
But he trusted
His crowd
So he spoke right out loud
And they lost
The best friend they had
There's no earthquake
It's gonna leave me
In the poorhouse
It seems like
This Old Town's insane
Yeah
It's gonna leave me
On the 31st floor
A gold-plated door
Won't keep out
The Lord's burning rain
On the 31st floor
A gold-plated door
On the 31st floor
Won't keep out
The Lord's burning rain
