A Camp
Every town has a secret heart that beats
every citizen and underground.
I set my clock to the bootleg meter end
Broken hands spinnin' round and round.
I'm on my way just like every day
to get milk and kerosene.
But my reflection in the butcher's window isn't me.
I freeze.
This is Chinatown
It's just a state of mind
This is Chinatown
A state of mind.
The sky was blue but I wouldn't know
I was counting cracks in the concrete.
I'd memorized them from A to B.
A choreography. A part of me.
It's not the future, it's not the past, it's not now.
The price will double if you try to look them in the eye.
Don't ask why.
Cause this is Chinatown....
