This old town is filled with sin
It'll 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
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
The scientists say it'll all wash away
But we don't believe it any more
Cos 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
Yet he trusted his crowd
So they spoke right out loud
But they lost the best friend they'd 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
