Lyrics:

She works in a club downtown
Got wrinkles on her face, but she's only twenty-one
I go there every day
She always looks good and has something to say
And it amazes me to no end how you can
Stay sane in a place that's insane
It amazes me to no end how you can
Stay sane in a place that's insane
The pay's not good, but she gets some good tips
It must be her smile or the lick of her lips
She lives in a room upstairs
Where there's no running water
And she can't wash her hair
I asked her if she likes her work
If she ever got tired of the drunks and the jerks
She told me that it pays the rent
And there's no need to stop
'Til something better comes along

And it amazes me to no end how you can
Stay sane in a place that's insane
It amazes me to no end how you can
Stay sane in a place that's insane
Life can be cool and life can be cruel
Life can be sweet and throw flowers at your feet
But the girl that works in the club downtown
Knows all about life, man, she's been around
And it amazes me to no end how you can
Stay sane in a place that's insane
It amazes me to no end how you can
Stay sane in a place that's insane
