Dirty Side of Town
Well it's been ten long years since I seen that chick-Ten years when I toed the line
Paying bills and meeting obligations-Not my idea of a real cool time
But one day I found myself walking on the dirty side of town
And there she is standing on the corner-Just awaiting to bring me down
She looks at me and sez what you doing
Where have you been and where you going
You never come around here no more
It's been ten long years-I bet you're looking to score
She said baby I forget your name but I remember all the ways you move
Right now I'm waiting here to meet someone
But when I'm through I think I'd really like to take you home
Well there was nothing left to do and I had nothing left to prove
You know what they say about idle hands
So I stepped into this sleazy little dive-already knowing what was gonna happen
She came around just a few minutes later
And she sez baby, I'm ready, are you ready for me
Then she flashed me with those bloodshot eyes
I looked back with a knowing smile
Well I was feeling stirred and shaken by then as we stumbled out toward the door
I knew my way around these dark and dirty streets
I'd walked a hundred million times before (yes indeed)
She took me back to a crummy little room and she sez
We're all grown up now and we know what we're doing
No time to question who we are what we is-No strings attached, no consequences yeah
She said come on, why don't you lie with me
Come on, and get high with me
I've learned some lessons and I've been around
Ten long years and I'm back again
Come on-I said I don't know baby
Come on-You know you're driving me crazy
Come on
C-C-C-Come on-Rock'n'Roll one time
I turned around and headed for the door
Stepped on a bottle and I fell on the floor
I try my best but I still fuck up sometimes
Straight to hell and I call it a good time
Ten long years since I'd come this way and I was standing on the brink again
Hot for crime and sneaking around
Looking for action on the dirty side of town
Paying bills and meeting obligations-Not my idea of a real cool time
But one day I found myself walking on the dirty side of town
And there she is standing on the corner-Just awaiting to bring me down
She looks at me and sez what you doing
Where have you been and where you going
You never come around here no more
It's been ten long years-I bet you're looking to score
She said baby I forget your name but I remember all the ways you move
Right now I'm waiting here to meet someone
But when I'm through I think I'd really like to take you home
Well there was nothing left to do and I had nothing left to prove

Hot for crime and sneaking around
Looking for action on the dirty side of town
