Downtown Songtext
von The B‐52s

Yeah, alright

When all the lights are low, I know a place to go
(Downtown) yeah
I know a place to go
Downtown (downtown)
When you are lonely, life is making you grumpy
You can always go (downtown)

Just listen to the music and the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk, do you think you are a pity?
Oh no (downtown)

I know a place to go, where things are so slow
(Downtown) (I want some tea)
I know a place to go, where things are so old
(I want a beer)
I know a place to go, when you wanna dress up for love
(Downtown) (downtown)


Yeah, just listen
Ooh, listen
Yeah, listen (downtown)
Oh, when you′re walking (downtown)
Then when you're talking (downtown)
Oh, and then you get your just enough (downtown)
Ooh, think of the people
Yeah, think of the people

Oh, maybe I′ll see you there, if I can do my hair
(Downtown)
Roll where the silly people go, it's free
(Downtown)
Roll where the silly people go, downtown
Let's all go

I say "oh, why don′t we show ourselves?"
Downtown (downtown)
Ooh, downtown (downtown)
Where all the lights are low (downtown)

Yeah, let′s all go
Downtown (downtown)
Oh, downtown (downtown)
Go downtown
