Edge Of Chinatown lyrics

Sleep had turned me upside down So I walked to the edge of Chinatown I went to my haunt of seven years Nobody really knows me there I saw a wicker man who lost his way Went to the mountain for forty days Spoke to the fire but lost his nerve What did he learn? I sat among the denim pushers Writers, mothers, dealers, teachers Healers, dreamers and wayward spouses And pretty things from red light houses He was a family man who lost his faith Wrote to the girl for seven days Caught a train downtown but lost his nerve What did he learn? And what did he deserve? Sleep had turned me upside down So I walked to the edge of Chinatown I walked through the mall and past a mirror I didn’t recognize who I saw there A wicker man who lost his way Went to the mountain for forty days Spoke to the fire but lost his nerve What did he learn?
