Song language: English
Downtown |
I wait for sundown on the fire escape |
And watch the passing cars downstairs |
I’m high above Korean groceries |
A sublet castle in the air |
It’s down to cigarettes and rosaries |
Christ, I wish someone would call me |
Johnny Thunders on the radio |
Ah but «you can’t put your arms |
Around a memory» |
Maybe I could find a better way |
But all I need is to feel connected now |
Do you remember me |
I sang that song you like |
I sang that song for free |
Now someone else sounds like me |
As I make my way downtown |
Downtown |
Oh yeah |
Downtown |
See the old men on the Bowery |
Take the night train to the stars |
You can find me in the usual place |
Inside the Temple Bar |
I hear that Sally’s got a gift for me |
I hear she found it on St. Mark’s |
These days they all just talk like poetry |
And shoot their mouths off shooting sparks |
Maybe I could find a better way |
But all I need now is to feel connected |
Do you remember me |
I sang that song you like |
Way back in eighty-three |
Number one |
High as a kite |
As I made my way downtown |
Downtown |
Oh yeah |
Downtown |
They’ve got paper cups for charity |
Kools, pills and broken teeth, and dope |
But I’ll take another dry martini |
And a chance on hope |
And now someone else waits for me |
And I got to get downtown |
Downtown |
Oh yeah |
Downtown |
I’m going way downtown |
Oh yeah |
I’m gonna see the man |
I’m going way downtown |
See the man |
Going down yeah |
I’m gonna see the man |
Going downtown |
Do you remember me |
