Текст песни Zebratown - Haymaker , The Wasteland Wailers

When you're walking alone seeking company and wine
In an unfamiliar city with its spires in the sky
She'll be all by herself under flickering streetlight
Her eyes will pull you in and then she melts into the night

She'll slide to your side and compliment your stance
She'll stroke your rank and ego, promising a chance
She hangs on every word as you take in her perfume
Her laugh's bewitching music, you'll belong to her soon

And she'll say ---

Take me down to Zebratown
There's a place we can dance the night away
Drinks will flow, I'll dip, you sway
Once we're down in Zebratown to stay
(I'll take your breath away)

You look back up the mountain, she'll whisper in the grate
The heavy door swings open, she leads you to your fate
You succumb to the drumming, music pounding in your head
An eternity of dancing leaves your legs like lead

She offers you a drink and enchanted by her scent
You down the bottle blindly no care for her intent
Sweet lavender and orange, chased by honeyed rose
Just a few steps to her room and that's all that you will know

And she'll say ---

Take me down to Zebratown
There's a place we can dance the night away
Drinks will flow, I'll dip you sway
Once we're down in Zebratown to stay
I'll take your breath away

The dawn it burns your eyes, the room is spinning still
You reach for your new friend but her bedsides all a chill
Your legs have marks to tell, fibers burning left in rouge
They could have been from passion or violent subterfuge
Drinks did flow down your throat, so did water in your face
Her dancing dipped you first, then her bucket took its place
You stumble down the stairs, club's as empty as a tomb
Her promises were kept, yours forsaken in her room

And she said ---

Take me down to Zebratown
There's a place we can dance the night away
Drinks will flow I'll dip you'll sway
Once we're down in Zebratown to stay
