Emmylou Harris Sin City Lyrics

Sin City Lyrics

(Gram Parsons/Chris Hillman)

This old town is filled with sin 
It will swallow you in 
If you`ve got some money to burn 
Take it home right away 
You`ve got three years to pay 
But Satan is waiting his turn 
The scientists say 
It will all wash away 
But we don`t believe any more 
Cause we`ve got our recruits 
And our green mohair suits 
So please show your I.D. At the door 
This old earthquake`s gonna leave me in the poor house 
It seems like this whole town`s insane 
On the thirty-first 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 
This old earthquake`s gonna leave me in the poor house 
It seems like this whole town`s insane 
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door 
Won`t keep out the Lord`s burning rain 
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door 
Won`t keep out the Lord`s burning rain
