Last Night in Chickentown

[Verse 1]
From the last of the 9th
To the trundling haze
To the genie in tights
The experimental phase
I don't stop at lights
I don't sleep for days
I've been seeing the sights
Baby, I'm amazed

[Refrain]
Last night
In Chickentown

[Verse 2]
Dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine
Playing percussion
Playing in time
I don't need no introduction
I don't drink no cherry wine
I'm concluding our discussion
Taking everything that's mine

[Refrain]
Last night
In Chickentown

[Bridge]
Last night in Chickentown
On the killing floor
You think you're satiated
But then all you want is more
Last night in Chickentown
I leave with no regrets
I've spoken with my creditors
I've handled all my debts

[Verse 3]
Desecrating legends
Squandering boasts
From the outskirts of Denver
To the heavenly host
I know you think I'm outrageous
I think you're outrageous too
Meet me by the cages
At the old county zoo

[Refrain]
Last night
In Chickentown

[Verse 4]
From the floor to the ceiling
To the length of my dress
That which you find appealing
Is that which causes you distress
And I know it's a nightmare
And I know it's a scream
Every good work of conscience
Is a confidence scheme

[Refrain]
Last night
In Chickentown
Last night
In Chickentown
