Nobody comes around telling me
Downtown, there's every kind of people
I feel alright when I'm downtown
Downtown, they got to think a little quicker
Broadway, down on the corner
I place my bet and let it ride
Downtown, the nights are longer
The rats run free and the winos crawl
Buses, car horns, ghetto blasters
Every human sound, downtown
Downtown, the thieves are smarter
Downtown, the sights are stronger
Walkin' 'round downtown
It's all music
Darkness falls on the vast machine
The shouts and cries of the human disasters
It's all music
Downtown, the breaks are harder
I've got this place I'm renting
My feet are light when I'm downtown
It's all music
It's all music
Downtown, there's every language
Eight blocks south of city hall
It's all music
I feel alright when I'm downtown
My head feels light when I'm downtown
I gotta turn the sound down
Downtown
I cast my hopes on the human tide
It cost me next to nothing, downtown
Downtown, wandering all around, downtown
The Bible screamer, the plasma donor
Where the future stalks the American dream
It's all in sight when I'm downtown
I'm open wide when I'm downtown
'Cause they're downtown
