Downtown Lyrics by Tom Waits

Downtown Lyrics

    red pants and the sugarman in, the temple street gloom, drinkin' chivas
    regal in a four dollar room, just another dead soldier in a powder blue night,
    sugarman says baby everything's alright, goin' downtown down downtown.

    montclaire de havelin doin' the st. vitus dance, lookin' for someone to chop
    the lumber in his pants, how am i gonna unload all of this ice and all this
    mink, all the traffic in the street but it's so hard to think, goin' downtown
    down downtown.

    frankie's wearin' lipstick pierre cardin, i swear to god i seen him holdin'
    hands with jimmy bond, sally's high on crank and hungry for some sweets, she's
    fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets, goin' downtown down
    downtown.

    it's the cool of the evening the sun's goin' down, i want to hold you in my
    arms i want to push you around, i want to break your bottle and spill out all
    your charms, come on baby we'll set off all the burglar alarms, goin' downtown
    down downtown.

    red pants and the sugarman in the temple, drinkin' chivas regal in a four
    dollar room, just another dead soldier in a powder blue night, red pants turns
    to sugarman and says everything's alright, goin' downtown down downtown.
