Downtown
Red pants and the sugar-man in the temple street gloom
Drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four dollar room
Just another dead soldier in a powder blue night
Sugar-man said baby everything's alright
Goin' downtown, downtown town
Goin' 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 downtown town
I'm goin' 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
Fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets
Goin' downtown downtown town
I'm goin' down downtown
It's the cool of the evening the sun's goin' down
And I hold you in my arms, want to push you all around
I want to break your bottle, babe, and spill out all your charms
Come on now, set off all the burglar alarms
Goin' downtown downtown town
I'm goin' down downtown
Red pants and the sugar-man in the temple street gloom
Drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four dollar room
Just another dead soldier in a powder blue night
Red pants turns to sugar-man and says everything's alright
Goin' downtown downtown town
Goin' down downtown
Drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four dollar room
Just another dead soldier in a powder blue night
Sugar-man said baby everything's alright
Goin' downtown, downtown town
Goin' 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 downtown town
I'm goin' 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
Fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets
Goin' downtown downtown town
I'm goin' down downtown
It's the cool of the evening the sun's goin' down
And I hold you in my arms, want to push you all around
I want to break your bottle, babe, and spill out all your charms
Come on now, set off all the burglar alarms
Goin' downtown downtown town
I'm goin' down downtown
Red pants and the sugar-man in the temple street gloom
Drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four dollar room
Just another dead soldier in a powder blue night
Red pants turns to sugar-man and says everything's alright
Goin' downtown downtown town
Goin' down downtown
