Hell Of A Town Lyrics - Joe Jackson

It's a hell of a town 

There's smoke coming up through the holes in the ground 

It's a hell of a town 

Plenty of devils for taking you down 

Any time of night and day 

It's a hell of a town 

Getting drunk on the tears of a clown 

It's a hell of a town 

Steppin' out in a bulletproof gown 

So get out of my goddamn way 

I'm walking here 

I'm talking here 

It's a hell of a town 

Swimming out where the ships run aground 

It's a hell of a town 

Always room on the merry-go-round 

So step up and be damned today
