Sin City 23
The song 'Sin City 23' is the 2023 version of the song 'Sin City', which was one of the most popular songs on the 'Rise' album. One of the reasons for its popularity was the appearance of both the legendary George Lynch and Keith St John on the same song.
For 'Here to Stay' I decided to re-do the 'Sin City' since I wanted to hear how 'Sin City' would develop years later, with a different arrangement, re-recorded guitars, new mix and new mastering. Just to show the result of my personal development as an artist. I was so happy with the outcome that I decided to release the new 'Sin City 23' as a bonus track on the CD-version of 'Here to Stay'.

Sin City
​
She got glitter lites, wild nites
A rock fever cranked up loud
Pyrotechnic, magnetic
She gonna shake the ground
She got skin shows dirty poses
Sexy tramps chasin' my guitar
Wet lips losin' grip
Sinkin' ships on the boulevard
​
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive
But it’s not Love
It’s Sin City
Ya know It’s never enough
In Sin City
ooh n’ I can see
She’s a Killer Queen Sex Machine
The Devil’s Angel’s sellin' sin
It tastes sweet
Ya like the heat
​
But your dreams are down in flames
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive
But it’s not love
It’s Sin City ya know
It’s never enough
In Sin City
Come on, let’s go for a ride
​
Glitter lites, wild nites
Drop dead , pretty head
Sex kinetic, magnetic
Sexy tramps every night in bed
She knows you want it yeah
She knows you need it
Hey - You know ya want it
Hey - You know ya need it
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive oh yeah
But it’s not love
It’s Sin City
Ya know It’s never enough
In Sin City
Oh and I can see that it’s all goin' down in flames
But it’s not love no
Bright lights, big City
Hot tramps
Lookin' pretty
Anytime she can feed my drive
Sin City’s so alive
Pretty head is never enough
Drop dead I’m so in love
It’s never enough
I’m goin' down in flames
It’s never enough
Glitter lights, wild nights,
Lookin' pretty
But it ain’t love
It’s just Sin City
