Chinatown

Trying to find Chinatown

Trying to find ChinatownA hungry man can hold out a long time

For some soul food, good food, whole food

I know I was that man

Maybe sometimes hold out a little too longI took a right then I took a wrong turn

Someone asked me for a quarter

It didn't seem to fit

He didn't look too much like a ChinamanTrying to find Chinatown

Trying to find ChinatownAn old black man pushing a shopping trolley

Filled with tin cans avoided his glance

I'm nervous and I'm lost

And I don't see too many restaurantsA guy laid out with a knife in his back

A cop came along, told him, move on

Go home and sleep it off

I didn't know if I should get involvedTrying to find Chinatown
