Down in Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town
And the neon sign said "Welcome to Sleazy Town"
It was dark and it was dirty
But if you want some real live action
People used to meet and have a good time
Till the office blocks and parking lots
You could even watch it all in slow mo'
And so the buildings all came down
This city was keen
They built the motorways and shopping malls
And they killed off Sleazy Town
Now the video's too tame
But you don't know how to light that flame
Came and closed this city down
Then the corporations came along
This city was cool
I used to have this spot on Main Street
And bought this piece of ground
Sleazy, Sleazy Town
Everybody hung loose, it was cool and easy
It was bouncing, it was hot
This city was alive
This city was alive
Welcome, welcome to Sleazy Town, Sleazy, Sleazy Town
Joint was jumping every night
Instead of studying the freeze frame
I could stand outside, the kids hung round
Came and closed this city down
Welcome to Sleazy Town, Sleazy, Sleazy Town
This city was cruel
And now you got plenty of time
If you wanna touch some heat
But dull it was not
This city was keen
I could stand outside, the kids hung around
'Cause you just sit at home all day
This city was
Till the office blocks and parking lots
The leases all went up
Now it's just a parking lot
And if you want some satisfaction
And the neon sign said "Welcome to Sleazy Town"
This city was mean
