Shake Down Chinatown

from Central Booking by The Deafening

lyrics

I drank a bottle of whiskey
Got the shake down Chinatown
Man what was I thinking
Got the shake down Chinatown

Got pulled out in the street next thing
They threw me in a car
Raced up to the Bronx got robbed
And then they threw me out
I got the shake down Chinatown come on
They got me shaking and screaming
Kicking harder on the ground
But they never could agree on where to
Hide my body baby

I'm thinking back and I know
Got the shake down Chinatown
It was my lucky number
Got the shake down Chinatown
Never stopped my drinking
Got the shake down Chinatown
Man what was I thinking
Got the shake down Chinatown

The cops are writing tickets oh
They're no where to be found
Pulled me in a room took my money
So close to lights out
Oh shake down Chinatown come on
They got me shaking and screaming
Kicking harder on the ground
But they never could quite agree on where to
hide my body baby

Never going back to Chinatown
Never going back again

I drank a bottle of whiskey
Got the shake down Chinatown
Man what was I thinking
Got the shake down Chinatown
I musta been so horny
Got the shake down Chinatown
Robed me without warning
Got the shake down Chinatown

Oh shake down Chinatown come on
They got me kicking and screaming
Kicking harder this time
But they never could quite agree on where to
hide my body baby
