Downtown Songtext
von Evil Ebenezer

It′s a cold world that we're in
Have you seen the lights downtown, downtown again?
It′s a cold world that we're in
Have you seen the lights downtown, downtown again?
Say we love each other, yet we act like strangers
Everybody gather 'round now, let′s get naked
Let′s get crazy in this bitch, now my pocket's stainless
I′ve been talking to myself, now it's getting dangerous


Grew up in the co-op, all the kids were fucked
Running wild in the city with no kids like us
Bust a line up on the table, yeah, I sniff it up
Now I know that I′m the shit, so fuck a pick me up
Pick me up and we can cruise, I can show the way
Old and gray, got the world on my shoulder blades
Portishead, I should have played out in Notre Dame
So mundane, keep it cool, they still know the name (Evil)
Way to go, Evil, you just failed another grade
That was cool, I said, I was just based in another age
Just saying I ain't ashamed, well, at least that′s how I'm playing it
They said that it'd catch up to me, I told them I ain′t gave a shit

It′s a cold world that we're in
Have you seen the lights downtown, downtown again?
It′s a cold world that we're in
Have you seen the lights downtown, downtown again?
Say we love each other, yet we act like strangers
Everybody gather ′round now, let's get naked
Let′s get crazy in this bitch, now my pocket's stainless
I've been talking to myself, now it′s getting dangerous


Pops was on the road trying to be a fucking singer, go figure
SpaghettiOs on toast for dinner
Smoke dro and pour liquor, drinking with no liver
Throwing a no-hitter, you know I′m a go-getter
My role models were athletes and rock stars
Wasn't long, I was in the backseat of cop cars
Chopping grass, sipping Twixes, mixing ′caine
Dropping acid in the drizzling rain, watching Grizzly games
What the fuck you think I came here for?
Three months and I'm chilling in the same old drawers
I′m a broke motherfucker, need I say no more?
I don't know what all you bitches try to play me for, whore

It′s a cold world that we're in
Have you seen the lights downtown, downtown again?
It's a cold world that we′re in
Have you seen the lights downtown, downtown again?
Say we love each other, yet we act like strangers
Everybody gather ′round now, let's get naked
Let′s get crazy in this bitch, now my pocket's stainless
I′ve been talking to myself, now it's getting dangerous
