Downtown Songtext
von Casablanca

Meet me tonight, come on downtown
We′ll dance through the alleys on our sacred ground
And reignite the fire, come on downtown
We got one chance left to turn it all around

I've been thinking about you, baby
And what might have been
And I wonder, what′s yet to come
I've been longing for your beauty
And grasping at rainbows
Praying your love is not all gone

I've been sleeping around with strangers
I′ve been slaving my time
And I′ve been leaving everybody behind
I've been dancing along with danger
And wrestling with slime
But this time I′ve been blind


So meet me tonight, come on downtown
We'll dance through the alleys on our sacred ground
And reignite the fire, come on downtown
We got one chance left to turn it all around

So last night I took a walk past our old house
Though I know you′re not there anymore
Well, you found something better somewhere else
And you're happy, that I′m sure
But I swear to you, baby, that tonight I had a dream
Where you were standing next to me
And you whispered in my ear
The fact that we're not together is a crime against humanity

So meet me tonight, come on downtown
We'll dance through the alleys on our sacred ground
And reignite the fire, come on downtown
We got one chance left to turn it all around

We′re fools doing grace on a sacred night
And this time, baby, I′ll be all right
Will the neon catch the eye in our magic ride?
Or the battle is won in the morning light?


Well, I'll just keep pretending that we′re downtown
I'll be your secret lover on the edge of town
If you ever change your mind and if you haven′t found
What you were looking for, so just come on down

So meet me tonight, come on downtown
Yeah, meet me tonight, come on downtown
