Elliott Smith
Chinatown
[Verse 1]
I never thought it would come to this
On your promise across your wrist
You had my address when I left for Budapest
But it don't mean a thing if it ain't cut that string
I never thought it would come to this
On your promise

So I walk in the park
Ask for a light and strangers spark
Not once knowing where I was going
And this [?] here like a greenhouse
Where friendships are stooped in the sewer beat out

[Chorus]
I was it, that you had lost what you had found
And all I wanted was to lose it here in your Chinatown

[Verse 2]
There's not a sound in the air
Not a word spoken
There's not a sound in the bed
Since it's been broken
I never thought it would come to this
With matches in our pockets
I pull out the match
You should have never crossed my path
And what was the sink in our [?]
And trying to love you is like [?]
Which is not all put together to quite make it

[Chorus]
I was it, that you had lost what you had found
And all I wanted was to lose it in your Chinatown

[Bridge]
The lady of the light saw [?]
I cut your throat and you got me pride
This was some kind of neon-leather pride
Now you've got me on a leash and the options [?]

[Chorus]
I was it, that you had lost what you had found
And all I wanted was to lose it in your Chinatown

[Outro]
In fire I sleep with the sin
Then tell me, how will you [?]
