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, yeah, yeah To 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, I'm going down yeah I'm gonna see the man, I'm going downtown Do you remember meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
