John Waite - Downtown Lyrics
I wait for sundown on the fire escapeAnd watch the passing cars downstairsIm high above korean groceriesA sublet castle in the airIts down to cigarettes and rosariesChrist, I wish someone would call meJohnny thunders on the radioAh but you cant put your armsAround a memoryMaybe I could find a better wayBut all I need is to feel connected nowDo you remember meI sang that song you likeI sang that song for freeNow someone else sounds like meAs I make my way downtownDowntownOh yeahDowntownSee the old men on the boweryTake the night train to the starsYou can find me in the usual placeInside the temple barI hear that sallys got a gift for meI hear she found it on st. marksThese days they all just talk like poetryAnd shoot their mouths off shooting sparksMaybe I could find a better wayBut all I need now is to feel connectedDo you remember meI sang that song you likeWay back in eighty-threeNumber oneHigh as a kiteAs I made my way downtownDowntownOh yeahDowntownTheyve got paper cups for charityKools, pills and broken teeth, and dopeBut Ill take another dry martiniAnd a chance on hopeAnd now someone else waits for meAnd I got to get downtownDowntownOh yeahDowntownIm going way downtownOh yeahIm gonna see the manIm going way downtownSee the manGoing down yeahIm gonna see the manGoing downtownDo you remember me
