Walking Down Town |
| It’s strange here, it’s funny in a way |
| Is it the night air makes it this way |
| 10,000 streets under an orange sky |
| And a million stories in a fully clothed city |
| And i’ve heard every one of them |
| I’ve been every one of them |
| Nobody’s interested anyway |
| This place stinks like Chicago |
| It smells of cabbage and grey water |
| There’s fear round here |
| It steams the place up |
| Seeping out through the cracks and basements |
| But i’m walking out |
| No i’m not afraid |
| The grass is greener on the newest graves |
| When the last jive had been jiven |
| Those left alive just upped and risen |
| From the damp walls and clammy tongues |
| And the quickly cooling sweat of lousy sex |
| Huh? |
| Yeah that’s my number |
| Why don’t you come by some time |
| And you know, dial it up |
| Some day you wonder how these things begin |
| Don’t look, it’ll happen anyway |
| When one thing leads to maybe 5 or 6 |
| You eat well, you sleep well, and that’s saying something these days |
| Walking downtown |
| I don’t want to think like this |
| I wanna think like an animal |
| I exist, therefore i’m happy |
| If you come here to look for your world |
| Please leave your muscles with the hat check girl |
| Everybody in the Eyelash Set |
| Start their hearts with whatever’s left |
| That’s the number, say it again |
| You gotta make note of it |
| Some time when you drop by |
| You know, dial it up |
| Walking downtown |
| Sometimes I feel like i’m the first person to set foot in America |
| Who looked around and thought |
| What the fuck is this? |
