Chinatown lyrics

First day in the city –

Nobody's waiting for me.

I'm all alone.

First floor in the building,

A Chinese doctor operating.

What's going on?

Welcome to Chinatown.

69 East Broadway.

I'll be there, I'll be waiting

For your call.

Welcome to Chinatown.

I don't know why I came here but there's no turning back this time.

I have this impression

Deep inside my bones

Looking for the answer

But the answer doesn't come

In Chinatown.

I have his impression,

Crawling on my spine.

You try to make it happen,

But you never cross the line,

In Chinatown.

I have this impression,

Walking all alone,

Anything can happen,

Though will I ever feel at home,

In Chinatown.

Welcome to Chinatown…
