Downtown Songtext
von Casablanca

Meet me tonight, come on downtown
Let′s dance through the alleys on the sacred ground
And relight the fire, come on downtown
Got one chance left to turn it all around

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

I′ve been sleeping around with strangers
I′ve been slaying 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
Let′s dance through the alleys on the sacred ground
And relight the fire come on downtown
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
Let's dance through the alleys on the sacred ground
And relight the fire, come on downtown
Got one chance left to turn it all around

We′re fools with grace on a sacred night
And this time baby I'll be all right
Where the neon cuts the eye in a magic rite
And the battle is won in the morning light

I just keep pretending that we′re downtown
I'll be your secret lover on the edge of town
If you ever change your mind or 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
