Chinatown

Every town has a secret heart that beats
In every citizen in underground
I set my clock to a bootleg meter
A broken hand spinning 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
A state of mind
This is Chinatown
It's just a state of mind
The sky was blue, but I wouldn't know
I was counting cracks in the concrete
I 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 prize will double if you try to look
Them in the eye
Don't ask why
'Cause this is Chinatown
A state of mind
This is Chinatown
A state of mind
In Chinatown
Read my fortune in my metro card
You'll see nothing if you search too hard
Read my fortune in my metro card
You'll see nothing if you search too hard
