Skull City Lyrics
She's my go-go baby
she's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole
Some cities Born,
Some cities Burn
Some cities Die,
Some cities Learn
Some cities take the
worst of the turn
And if it ain't your business
then it's not your concern
Listen, Brick buildings
Broken windows, smoke stacks
Tell me somethings broken
And there's blood tracks
And if you see the train coming
you're gonna relax
So tell the facts Ma'am
only the facts
Stand down what you gonna do
she's a wild one
I'm a wild one too
She's my go-go baby
she's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole
She's my go-go baby
she's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole
Midnight and I'm rolling on
Nobody sees me coming home
And out here man
A lot of things can go wrong
Shhh! Listen to my song
The Morgue is busy
day after day
Stick it on the line
and throw it away
And if you see it coming on
Then you got it made
And the Grave Diggers laugh
As they rot and decay
Say it loud,
What you gonna do
she's a wild one
And I'm a wild one too
She's my go-go baby
she's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole
I'm a wild one
I'm a wild one
she's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole
Some cities Burn
Some cities Die,
Some cities Learn
Some cities take the
worst of the turn
And if it ain't your business
then it's not your concern
Listen, Brick buildings
Broken windows, smoke stacks
Tell me somethings broken
And there's blood tracks
And if you see the train coming
you're gonna relax
So tell the facts Ma'am
only the facts
Stand down what you gonna do
she's a wild one
I'm a wild one too
she's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole
she's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole
Nobody sees me coming home
And out here man
A lot of things can go wrong
Shhh! Listen to my song
The Morgue is busy
day after day
Stick it on the line
and throw it away
And if you see it coming on
Then you got it made
And the Grave Diggers laugh
As they rot and decay
What you gonna do
she's a wild one
And I'm a wild one too
she's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole
I'm a wild one

“”Some cities born, some cities burn, some cities die, some cities learn, some cities take the worst of the turn.” Inspired by northern soul, this is about hard hit cities the working poor, the dancing girl is a metaphor. That rhymes. Hahaha” —Rancid
