Downtown Life
Hiya!
Ohh, ah
Yeah
Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene and work it brother
Moving through sound, city's like wild life
All overgrown and living undercover
And wound up so tight
We love the downtown life (downtown life, baby)
Driftin' through the day
Waiting for the night, oh (ohh)
Downtown life, it feels so right (it feels so right)
It keeps me hangin' on (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 the white-collar crime
They scared away the local color
But they can't steal the night
We love the downtown life (downtown life)
Driftin' through the day
Waiting for the night, oh (ohh)
Downtown life, it feels so right (feels so right)
It keeps me hangin' on
The downtown life (oh, you're the downtown life, baby)
Drifting through the night
Waiting for the night to come (waiting for the night to come)
The downtown life, it feels so right (feels so right)
It keeps me hangin' on (hanging, hanging, hanging)
Hanging on
My baby knows she 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, boys, 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 (I been waiting for the night to come)
The downtown life, it feels so right (it feels so right)
It keeps me hangin' on (oh)
Downtown life (downtown life)
Drifting through the night
Waiting for the night to come (to come)
The downtown life (let it feels) it feels so right (let it feel so right)
It keeps me hangin' on
(Downtown life)
Downtown life, it keeps me hanging on
Hanging, hanging on, downtown life
Downtown life, it keeps me hanging
Hanging on, you owe me downtown life
Drifting through the night
Waiting for the night
Drifting, waiting, hanging on, hanging on, downtown
Downtown life, it keeps me hanging on
You are the downtown life (downtown life) hanging on, hanging on
Drifting through the night and waiting for the night (hanging on, hanging on)
Downtown life
Hanging on, (downtown life it keeps me hanging on)
Hanging on to downtown life (downtown life)
Drifting through the night
Waiting for the night
Drifting, waiting, hanging on
Ohh, ah
Yeah
Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene and work it brother
Moving through sound, city's like wild life
All overgrown and living undercover
And wound up so tight
We love the downtown life (downtown life, baby)
Driftin' through the day
Waiting for the night, oh (ohh)
Downtown life, it feels so right (it feels so right)
It keeps me hangin' on (keeps me hangin' on)

Hanging on to downtown life (downtown life)
Drifting through the night
Waiting for the night
Drifting, waiting, hanging on
