[English]
I met my bride in a cutlass supreme
She said "I'd give you the ride, but it ain't comin' for free"
As long as she ain't comin' up 666
With the queen of the devils sayin' "love don't exist"
Sin city, no pity
You wanna take my soul?
(Why you wanna make a fool out of me?)
Sin city, it ain't pretty
Don't you wanna go?
(Why you wanna make a fool out of me?)
Swan dive in a cloud of smoke
While your ego's on fire and your windshield is broke
Rainin' dollar bills in a velvet room
Like a white cat dancin' on Siegfried's tomb
Sin city, no pity
Wanna take my soul?
(Why you wanna make a fool out of me?)
Sin city, it ain't pretty
Don't you wanna go?
(Why you wanna make a fool out of me?)
S-I-N C-I-T
Why you wanna make a fool out of me?
S-I-N, baby, C-I-T
Why you wanna make a fool out of me?
(Why you wanna make a fool out of me?)
(Why you wanna make a fool out of me?)
Sin city, so pretty
Never let me go
(Why you wanna make a fool out of me?)
Sin city, it ain't easy
Being sleazy, no
(Why you wanna make a fool out of me?)
