Helltown Blues

Degradation right next door
Insect life abounds
Visits from the local whore
The usual suspects, the usual rounds

Elder gents all in a row
In apartments too complex
They're inclined take her slow
On a few bucks spent for straight-up sex

But Mudhoney's one to call the shots
With a body set to stun
And a pro inclined to hatching plots
Is dismissed by her shotgun

Take me to the river, dear
And teach me honeyed ways
Time to get our truck right out of here
And see the last of Helltown days.
