Cardboard Town - Dogs D'Amour

Life is wicked in wino city

Life down here just ain’t pretty

We get to the «Nitty Gritty»

You can smell the stench of vagabond city

Life used to be sex, smack and tears

For a dirty hero playin' guitars for those years

To make a few Quid for breakfast at Sids

And a pack o’ten tabs for him n' his missus

An all those people hit me

They just knock me down

In cardboard town, come on down, cardboard town

From the Irish to the rich who have fallen from grace

To the battered wife took one too many on the face

The husband is drunk n' so absurd

To the people who give up the world

An all those people hit me

They just knock me down

In cardboard town, come on down, cardboard town

Down in the gutter sleepin' with the dogs

Talkin' to the fleas, rats, n' the hogs

Drinkin' the grain that’ll rot my brain

Leavin' thunderbird city on the next nighttrain

An all those people hit me

They just knock me down

In cardboard town, come on down, cardboard town

Come on down, irish n' slick guys hang around
