Let's go down to the Sunset Grill
  We can watch the working girls go by
  Watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble
  And stare out at the auburn sky
  There's an old man there from the Old World
  To him, it's all the same
  Calls all his customers by name
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  You see a lot more meanness in the city
  It's the kind that ears you up inside
  Hard to come away with anything that feels like dignity
  Hard to get home with any pride
  These days a man makes you somethin'
  And you never see his face
  But there is no hiding place
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Respectable little murders pay
  They get more respectable every day
  Don't worry girl, I'm gonna stick by you
  And someday soon we're gonna get in that car and get outta here
  Let's go down to the Sunset Grill
  Watch the working girls go by
  Watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble
  And gaze out at the auburn sky
  Maybe we'll leave come springtime
  Meanwhile, have another beer
  What would we do without these jerks anyway?
  Besides, all our friends are here
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
  Down at the Sunset Grill
