I met a girl by the factory wall
I dreamed a dream by the old canal
And I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Clouds adrift across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Springs a girl from the street at night
Dirty old town, another dirty old town [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/frank_black/dirty_old_town.html ]
I heard a siren on the dock
I saw a train light the night on fire
I smelled a spring on the smoky wind
That dirty old town, dirty old town
I'm gonna build a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
And I'll cut you down like an old dead tree
In that dirty old town, dirty old town
