Chinatown

Trying to find Chinatown

Trying to find Chinatown



A 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 long



I 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 Chinaman



Trying to find Chinatown

I was trying to find Chinatown

Trying to find Chinatown

I was trying to find Chinatown



An 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 restaurants



A 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 involved



Trying to find Chinatown

I was trying to find Chinatown

Trying to find Chinatown

I was trying to find Chinatown
