Chinatown by The Ballet Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2009

[Intro: Audio clip from Unknown Female Newscaster]
The [???] bus was only about 20 miles into the trip when trouble hit, no one was hurt but now investigators want to know why two wheels failed. The driver told police he felt something in the rear and then pulled over

[Verse 1: The Ballet]
I'm not going to argue with you, dear
Ooh, I don't know what you've been through
But I don't see things like you do
If I could tell you what you want to hear
But i'm gonna do my own thing now
I'm gonna make my way somehow

[Verse 2]
All the boys in Chelsea know my face
'Cause I'm the fool on the disco floor
And I can't live like this no more
I've lost my patience with the human race
But i'll be whistling by and by
'Cause I've got a bus to catch in Chinatown

[Hook]
Don't do this
In desperation you say
Don't do this
In desperation you say
Don't do this, don't do this
Don't turn this upside down
Don't do this, don't do this
Don't go into Chinatown
[Verse 3]
Late at night I count the things you did
You were cruel when I was down
You left me for dead in Chinatown
I shouldn't have stayed, but I was just a kid
Now I could tell you what they are
But I'll be asleep on the lucky star

[Verse 4]
Don't do this
In desperation you say
Don't do this
In desperation you say
Don't do this, don't do this
Don't turn this upside down
Don't do this, don't do this
Don't go into Chinatown
