Get in my backseat, honeypie
And I'll wear your sadness like it's mine
'Cause it's just good to feel what's been missing
Yes, it's bad when it's good to always be missing
But a girl like you could rip me out of my head
Black tears on your cheek I want them in my bed
I'll take you out of the city, honey, right into the shadow
Because I wanna find tomorrow, yes, I wanna find tomorrow
With a girl like you, my Chinatown baby
Sittin' on the front stoop, crying out the crazy
I'll take you out of the city, honey, right into the shadow
Because I wanna find tomorrow, yes, I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that big red light
And take the sadness out of Saturday night
'Cause that's just good to have what was missing
We were bad to be bad, to always be missing
But a girl like you could rip me out of my head
Black tears on your cheek I want them in my bed
I'll take you out of the city, honey, right into the shadow
'Cause I wanna find tomorrow, yes, I wanna find tomorrow
With a girl like you, you're my Chinatown baby
Sittin' on your front stoop, crying out the crazy
I'll take you out of the city, honey, right into the shadow
Because I wanna find tomorrow, yes, I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby
I wanna run
I wanna run
I love to chase every feeling
I wanna run
I wanna run
I wanna run
'Cause I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby
...
And I'll wear your sadness like it's mine
'Cause it's just good to feel what's been missing
Yes, it's bad when it's good to always be missing
But a girl like you could rip me out of my head
Black tears on your cheek I want them in my bed
I'll take you out of the city, honey, right into the shadow
Because I wanna find tomorrow, yes, I wanna find tomorrow
With a girl like you, my Chinatown baby
Sittin' on the front stoop, crying out the crazy
I'll take you out of the city, honey, right into the shadow
Because I wanna find tomorrow, yes, I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that big red light
And take the sadness out of Saturday night
'Cause that's just good to have what was missing
We were bad to be bad, to always be missing
But a girl like you could rip me out of my head
Black tears on your cheek I want them in my bed
I'll take you out of the city, honey, right into the shadow
'Cause I wanna find tomorrow, yes, I wanna find tomorrow
With a girl like you, you're my Chinatown baby
Sittin' on your front stoop, crying out the crazy
I'll take you out of the city, honey, right into the shadow
Because I wanna find tomorrow, yes, I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby
I wanna run
I wanna run
I love to chase every feeling
I wanna run
I wanna run
I wanna run
'Cause I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby

"Chinatown commence à New York et se rend dans le New Jersey [...] J'ai commencé à écrire cette chanson avec ces idées-là qui sonnaient dans ma tête : mieux comprendre celui que tu es te pousse à mieux comprendre l'endroit d'où tu es originaire, son apparence, sa musicalité. Il y a certaines parties qui valent la peine d'être emportées pour toujours et il y en a d'autres qui valent la peine d'être laissées pour morte. Chinatown et 45 parlent de ces histoires-là - Chinatown à travers un autre, 45 à travers le miroir. Concernant Bruce, c'est l'honneur de toute une vie d'être rejoint par lui. C'est l'artiste qui m'a montré que le son de l'endroit d'où je viens a de la valeur et qu'il existe un esprit ici, qui a besoin d'être transporté tout autour du monde" (Jack Antonoff, dossier de presse)
