Downtown Life (Downtown Remix)

Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, down, down, down
Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, down, down, down

Downtown life
Yeah, downtown life
Hangin' on, hangin' on, hangin' on (downtown life)
Hangin' on

Do it downtown, in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene and work it, brother
Moving through sound
The city's like wildlife
All overgrown and living undercover
Wound up so tight

We love the downtown life (downtown life, baby)
Driftin' through the day
Waiting for the night, oh
Downtown life, it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

So, listen now
Velvet Lou was a neighbor of mine
Now he walks the dog in Jersey, brother
Yuppies in black with a white-collar crime
They scared away the local color
But they can't steal the night

We love the downtown life (downtown life, baby)
Driftin' through the day
Waiting for the night, oh
Downtown life, it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Downtown life (oh, you want the downtown life, baby?)
Drifting through the night
Waiting for the light to come
Downtown life, it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on (hangin', hangin', hangin')

My baby knows she's got to go for this kind of life
'Cause city love can't stand to see the sunlight
Dawn patrol better leave me alone
'Cause I can only take it for so long
Going down isn't hard to do
The king of clubs and queen of hearts fall too
She says, "If you believe this is only a lonely time
Stay at home, boy, the blues are lost on you"
Ain't it true?

We love the downtown life (downtown life, baby)
Drifting through the day
Waiting for the night, oh (oh, waiting for the night to fall)
Downtown life, it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on
Drifting through the day
Waiting for the night
Downtown life, it keeps me hangin' on (downtown life)
Downtown life, it keeps me hangin' on
(Keeps me hangin', hangin' on, hangin' on to downtown life)
Downtown life, it keeps me hangin' on
(Keeps me hangin', hangin', hangin' on to downtown life)
Downtown life, it keeps me hangin' on

Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, down, down, down
Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, down, down, down

Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
Down, down, down, down
Down, downtown life
Down, downtown life
