Downtown Life

Lyrics

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
