2. Darktown 

Sun is low now in the sky 

soon the cold will start to bite 

and I'm kicking some old 

empty can 

down a barren street yah 

step into a dark saloon 

peer across the smoke filled room 

I can feel her heat a mile away 

she smiles and beckons me 

Now we're dancing through the mist 

face to face I taste her breath 

our gaze locks into a hazy trance I start to quiver 

now she comes to comfort me I tell her I'm too blind to see 

a warm bed and a fresh breath of air and you'll feel better 

I know the feeling that you get 

too bad it's only for a moment 

lost in the shadows of the night 

she turned and took my hand said 

stay by my side, slip between the light 

mirror my image we'll be alright 

The key that opens up a thousand doors of mystery 

unlocks a basement full of fears 

start to unravel in it you might as well be blind 

she saw my fright and closed her eyes 

Don't fall in love it's a crazy nightmare 

she looked at me and she winked an eye 

it's too soon to say goodbye to this darktown 

could use a fortune of imagination 

refuse to look but I cannot deny 

gotta make it out tonight of this darktown 

Sorry to leave you in this crazy nightmare 

she looked at me and she winked an eye 

that's too bad so goodbye to your darktown 

could use a fortune of imagination 

I turned to look but I closed my eyes 

and I won't turn back tonight to this darktown
