About the Track:
Fresh off the chaos of their first American tour, Thunderballz returned to Australia with empty pockets but a hell of a story to tell. "Sin City" was the first track laid down at the legendary Albert Studios in Sydney, written in the aftermath of a notorious three-day bender in Las Vegas.

According to rock folklore, the trip resulted in the bassist losing his life savings at the roulette table and the drummer briefly getting married to a showgirl. The song captures that frantic, high-stakes energy with a wall of Marshall amps and a blistering 4/4 beat.

Upon release in late 1980, "Sin City" became an instant Pub Rock classic. It was loud, rude, and unapologetic, cementing Thunderballz as the loudest band to ever come out of Australia.

Lyrics:
No time for sleepin'
Midnight hour's creepin'
Got a one-way ticket and I'm feelin' the heat
Got a devil on my shoulder
Gettin' bolder and bolder
Draggin' me down to the dirty street!

Don't need no luck!
I make my own!
Gonna take the whole damn city
And make it my own! YEAH!

SIN CITY!
Gonna tear it all down!
SIN CITY!
The baddest place in town!
SIN CITY!
Burnin' up the ground!
I'm goin' to SIN CITY!
Yeah, I'm Vegas bound!

Rollin' the dice now
Ain't gonna think twice, man
I'm playin' for keeps, I'm playin' it mean
Ace in the pocket
Lit like a rocket
Nothin' gonna stop it!

Don't need no rules!
'Cause I'm the man!
Gonna take all that you got
And stuff it in the van! C'MON!

SIN CITY!
Gonna tear it all down!
SIN CITY!
The baddest place in town!
SIN CITY!
Burnin' up the ground!
I'm goin' to SIN CITY!
Yeah, I'm Vegas bound!

(SIN CITY!)
Oi! Oi! Oi!
(SIN CITY!)
Oi! Oi! Oi!

SIN CITY!
Gonna tear it all down!
SIN CITY!
The baddest place in town!
SIN CITY!
Burnin' up the ground!
I'm goin' to SIN CITY!
Yeah, I'm Vegas bound!

SIN CITY!
Oh, I'm goin' down to Sin City!
Yeah, VEGAS!
I'm takin' it ALL!
It's ALL MINE!
SIN CITY!!!
