John Waite - Downtown
Intro
Verse
I Wait For Sundown On The Fire Escape And Watch The Passing Cars Downstairs
I'm High Above Korean Groceries A Sublet Castle In The Air
It's Down To Cigarettes And Rosaries Christ I Wish Someone Would Call Me
Johnny Thunders On The Radio Ah But You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory
Maybe I Could Find A Better Way But All I Need Is To Feel Connected Now
Chorus
Do You Remember Me I Sang That Song You Like
I Sang That Song For Free Now Someone Else Sounds Like Me
As I Got To Get Downtown Downtown
Verse 2
See The Old Men On The Bowery Take The Night Train To The Stars
You Can Find Me In The Usual Place Inside The Temple Bar
I Hear That Sally's Got A Gift For Me I Hear She Found It On St. Mark's
These Days They All Just Talk Like Poets And Shoot Their Mouths Off Shooting Sparks
Maybe I Could Find A Better Way But All I Need Is To Feel Connected Now
Chorus 2
Do You Remember Me I Sang That Song You Like
Way Back In Eighty-Three Number One High As A Kite
As I Made My Way Downtown Downtown
Downtown
Bridge
They've Got Paper Cups For Charity Kools, Pills And Broken Teeth, And Dope
But I'll Take Another Dry Martini And A Chance On Hope
A Chance On Hope
And Now Someone Else Waits For Me
And I Got To Get Downtown Downtown
Oh Yeah Downtown I'm Going Way Downtown
I'm Gonna See The Man
I'm Going Way Downtown
