Downtown - John Waite[00:00:01]
I wait for sundown on the fire escape[00:00:12]
And watch the passing cars downstairs[00:00:18]
I'm high above Korean groceries[00:00:23]
A sublet castle in the air[00:00:28]
It's down to cigarettes and rosaries[00:00:34]
Christ I wish someone would call me[00:00:40]
Johnny thunders on the radio[00:00:46]
Ah but you can't put your[00:00:51]
Arms around a memory[00:00:52]
Maybe I could find a better way[00:00:57]
But all I need is[00:01:02]
To feel connected now[00:01:05]
Do you remember me[00:01:08]
I sang that song you like [00:01:14]
I sang that song for free[00:01:20]
Now someone else sounds like me[00:01:25]
As I make my way downtown[00:01:33]
Downtown oh yeah[00:01:39]
Downtown[00:01:44]
See the old men on the Bowery[00:01:48]
Take the night train to the stars[00:01:54]
You can find me in the usual place[00:01:59]
Inside the temple bar[00:02:04]
I hear that Sally's got a gift for me[00:02:10]
I hear she found it on St Mark's[00:02:16]
These days they all[00:02:21]
Just talk like poetry[00:02:23]
And shoot their[00:02:26]
Mouths off shooting sparks[00:02:27]
Maybe I could find a better way[00:02:33]
But all I need[00:02:38]
Now is to feel connected[00:02:39]
Do you remember me[00:02:44]
I sang that song you like [00:02:50]
Way back in eighty-three[00:02:56]
Number one high as a kite[00:03:01]
As I made my way downtown[00:03:09]
Downtown yeah yeah[00:03:15]
To downtown[00:03:20]
They've got paper cups for charity[00:03:24]
Kools [00:03:29]
Pills and broken teeth and dope[00:03:29]
But I'll take another dry martini[00:03:35]
And a chance on hope[00:03:38]
And now someone else waits for me[00:03:57]
And I got to get downtown[00:04:05]
Downtown oh yeah[00:04:11]
Downtown [00:04:17]
I'm going way downtown oh yeah[00:04:19]
I'm gonna see the man [00:04:25]
I'm going way downtown[00:04:27]
See the man [00:04:31]
I'm going down yeah[00:04:33]
I'm gonna see the man [00:04:36]
I'm going downtown[00:04:38]
Do you remember me[00:04:43]
