 Struggling with Sin City? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

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 
And Satan is waiting his turn 
The scientists say it'll all wash away 
But we don't believe anymore 
'Cause we've got our recruits 
In their green mohair suits 
So please show your I.D. at the door 

[Chorus]
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse 
It seems like this whole town's insane 
On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door 
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain 

A fool came around tried to clean up this town 
His ideas made some people mad 
But he trusted in his crowd 
So he spoke right out loud 
And they lost the best friend they ever had 

[Chorus]

On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door 
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
