Sweat Soaked City

Sweat-soaked city
Night life in a working class town
Sweat-soaked city
To feel up we go downtown
Sweat-soaked city
Don't let the work day get us down
Night life night life in a working class town

They're playing good time music
In a town that's fallen on bad times
Deflated dollars deflated pride
And dwindling dreams
This is the only place in town with a band
And this band pile drives a backbeat
To drive away the ringing in their ears
From the sound of machines

Sweat-soaked city
Night life in a working class town
Sweat-soaked city
To feel up we go downtown
Sweat-soaked city
Don't let the work day get us down
Night life night life in a working class town

In the corner young alcohooligans
Are acting like fools again
For some couples love
Turns this into a place for romance
There's an old couple trying to find a fox-trot feel
In some small town hard rock rhythm
Work day's load is put down
The feeling's light it's time to dance

Sweat-soaked city
Night life in a working class town
Sweat-soaked city
To feel up we go downtown
Sweat-soaked city
Don't let the work day get us down
Night life night life in a working class town

Come Sunday morning
The light seeps in
A bleary-eyed sun
Is hung over this town
The Sunday service singers
Are last night's drunken choir
They're somewhat more in tune today
But somewhat less inspired

Sweat-soaked city
Night life in a working class town
Sweat-soaked city
To feel up we go downtown
Sweat-soaked city
Don't let the work day get us down
Night life night life in a working class town
