When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares

So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
No finer place for sure downtown
Everything's waiting for you

(Downtown)
(Downtown)

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go
To where they never close downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
you can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares

So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright downtown
Waiting for you tonight downtown
You're gonna be alright now

(Downtown)
(Downtown)
(Downtown)

Downtown
Downtown

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand
To guide them along

So, maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles
Forget all our cares

So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
Don't wait a minute more: downtown
Everything's waiting for you

(Downtown)
(Downtown)

Downtown
(Downtown)
Downtown
(Downtown)
Downtown
(Downtown)

There's a place called Downtown
Where the hippies all go
And they dance the charleston
And they do the limbo
Yeah the hippies all go there
'Cause they want to be seen
It's like a room
full of pictures
It's like a psychedelic dream

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown at night
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown at night

Yeah it's
right around the corner
Up and down the hill
When you hear the band playin'
It's gonna give you a chill
Give your money to the gateman
Young blood in his eye
Hold on to your baby
When you slip into the sky

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Hear the band playin'
Downtown all right

[solo]

Jimi's playin' in the back room
Led Zeppelin on stage
There's a mirror ball twirlin'
And a note from Page
Like a water-washed diamond
In a river of sin
Goin' down like a whirlpool
When you get sucked in

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Hear the band playin'
Downtown all right

[solo]

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown all right

Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown ...

Well, all the parties on the streets are talking, store front mannequins sleeping in lights.
We used to smoke while we were jaywalking like it was your birthday every other saturday night.
Knew The bands so we never payed our cover.
Wrote our names on the bathroom tiles.
We never dressed to impress all the others,
They would let us in on a laid back kind of style.
But Boy you know it's been a while.

I don't know why you don't take me down town like you got anywhere better to be.
Talk it up and give me the go round round like a good time tease.
I'm only counting on your cancellation,
When I should be countin on you at my door.
Did you forget about how we went around,
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore.
Ohhhhhhhh anymore.

I got some platforms sitting in the corner.
They wanna stroll on a city sidewalk.
I got a dress that'll show a little uhhh uh but you ain't getting uhh ohh if you don't come pick me up (damn),
Show me off (wow), you might be tired but I'm not!

And I don't know why you don't take me down town like you got anywhere better to be.
Talk it up and give me the go round round like a good time tease.
I'm only counting on your cancellation,
When I should be countin on you at my door.
Did you forget about how we went around,
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore.

I don't know why you don't take me down town like you got anywhere better to be.
Talk it up and give me the go round round like a good time tease.
I'm only counting on your cancellation, when I should be countin on you at my door.
Did you forget about how we went around,
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore.
Ohhh anymore. Yeaaaaah don't know why you don't take me downtown,
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore.
I just don't get it

If you're gonna get up
You might as well get up with me
If you're going downtown
I might as well be on your way

And I'll sit all night
I sit still all night
I won't tell one soul

I just can't get it straight you see
And, oh well
That distraction inside of me
Oh well

If it's fine by you
I am fine by you
I won't tell one soul

If you're going downtown
Take me with you
I don't care

If I'm gonna get up, I'll just admit it
I only get up for you

If you're going downtown
Yeah we can

Yes I could stay home, I could read a book or two
I could try to get a little bit better at some of the bad things that I do
But the night is young. So I'm out for a little while
I'm gonna put on my hat and coat and pants and boots and my smile.

'N' I'm gonna go downtown tonight
All around the town,
Checkin' out all the sights.
I'll be back in the morning
Feelin' bad or good
Gonna do what I want and I ain't gonna what I should.

Well, now, if you ever checked it out you know jus' what I mean
There's always a few surprises in that same old scene
You might meet some fella who can really blow the horn
Make you glad for a change you done got born.

Don't you wanna go downtown tonight?
Uptown, downtown, all aroun' the town,
Checkin' out all the little sights.
So we'll be back in the mornin'
Feelin' bad or good
I do what I want and I don't do what I should.

Some of the people that I meet they say they love the mountains best
When I look around in the city I jus' see one big wilderness
Squirrels are writin' tickets, dolphins drivin' cars
Globefish blowin' tubas, grizzly bears in the bars

'N' I gonna go downtown tonight
I'm gonna go all aroun' the town
I'm gonna check out all the sights
I'll be back in the mornin'
Feelin' bad or good
[ Downtown lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
I do what I want and I don't do what I should.

Yeah, oh but I might get lucky, I might run into my friend Jane
Walk to her apartment in the sooty city rain
Put on a little record, gonna be so long and tall
I'm a-gonna be the wallpaper, Jane'gonna be the wall

'N' I wanna go downtown tonight
I wanna go all aroun' the town
Wanna check out all the sights.
I'll be back in the mornin'
Feelin' bad or good
Gonna do what I want and I don't do what I should.

Ain't you ever known that magic hour just before the dawn
When the morning is still sleepy but the night is not yet gone?
And you're walking home from some little joint with somebody you love
With the moon and the stars and the bells and the birds all ring-a ding-a
Dong-a up above?

Don't you wanna go downtown, tonight?
Let's go downtown tonight
Let's go all aroun' the town
Let's go check out all the sights
An' we be back in the mornin'
Feelin' bad or good
I do what I want and I don't do what I should.

Deliver us from evil
We go with the flow
But here's a little secret
I think you ought to know
Providers and abusers
They know where to go
With Sunday refugees from Sunday TV shows

Downtown all of the way down
Downtown all of the way downtown

Let's sink imagination
Past your wildest wild
(all of the way downtown)
Go way below below below
Is it such a crime?
The uptown can't teach you how to live
They don't have the time
Coz where i'm gonna take you
Is a state of mine

Downtown all of the way down
Downtown all of the way downtown
Downtown all of the way down
Downtown all of the way downtown

You better learn to use your heart
You got to loose your money
You better use it all up
Coz you can't take it with you
When you're going down...

You'll never come home babe
You'll never come home baby
And you'll never be alone
All of the way downtown
All of the way...
Down
Down
Down
Downtown...

is your situation working out?
i heard your playstation let you down.
come downtown, hangin' around, alright
did you disappoint the chairman of the board?
are your days feeling longer than they did before?

all together now.
we know you've been such a good boy,
but now the day is done.

to have a little fun?

to take a holiday?

all together now.
forget about the boss and the boss' committee,

When all the light are low
I know a place to go ... downtown
I know a place to go ... downtown
When you are lonely life is making you grumpy
Then you can always go ... downtown

Just listen to the music and the traffic in the city
Linger around the towers when you think you are a pretty
Lone girl oh no ... downtown

I know a place to go
But it's so slow ... downtown
I know a place to go
When it's so old ... polar bear
I know a place to go
We want to dress up and love

Yeah listen oh listen
Yeah listen ... downtown
Oh when you're walking ... downtown
Oh when you're talking ... downtown
Oh think of all those people
Yeah think of all those people
Baby, I'll see you there if I can do my hair ... downtown
Oh where do all the people go ... downtown
Oh where do all the people go ... downtown
Oh let's all go
I said why don't we just go ... downtown

Red Pants and the Sugarman in the Temple Street gloom,
drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four dollar room,
just another dead soldier in a powder blue night,
Sugarman says baby everything's alright,
goin' downtown down downtown.

Montclaire de Havelin doin' the St. Vitus dance,
lookin' for someone to chop the lumber in his pants,
how am I gonna unload all of this ice and all this mink,
all the traffic in the street but it's so hard to think,
goin' downtown down downtown.

Frankie's wearin' lipstick Pierre Cardin,
I swear to God I seen him holdin' hands with Jimmy Bond,
Sally's high on crank and hungry for some sweets,
she's fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets,
goin' downtown down downtown.

It's the cool of the evening the sun's goin' down,
I want to hold you in my arms I want to push you around,
I want to break your bottle and spill out all your charms,
come on baby we'll set off all the burglar alarms,
goin' downtown down downtown.

Red Pants and the Sugarman in the Temple Street gloom,
I'm drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four dollar room,
just another dead soldier in a powder blue night,
Red Pants turns to Sugarman and says everything's alright,
goin' downtown down downtown.

I go down to the city
even when the rain falls down [x4]

I don't care if it's a
boy or girl you're after
I don't care if it's a
reconable deal
I don't care if it's a
nuclear reaction
I don't care if it's all
above the new

I go down to the city
even when the rain falls down [x4]

You take or make a fence
Shuv it up your ass
You can take that dream
of all my commit
Cuz I know a place
that's real
maybe not the people
but the way I feel

Downtown! Here we go!
Downtown! Here we go!
I go to the city
Nothing else to do
Forget about my worries
Maybe you should too
Downtown! Here we go!
Downtown! Here we go!

I go down to the city
even when the rain falls down [x4]
