Downtown Songtext
von Holly Cole Trio

When you′re alone, life is makin' you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you′ve got worries, the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
So listen to the rhythm of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon lights are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget your troubles
Forget all your cares, and go downtown
Things'll be great when you're downtown
Don′t wait a minute more, downtown
Ev′rything's waitin′ for you


Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close, downtown
Listen to the rhythm, the gentle Bossa Nova
You′ll be dancin' with ′em soon before the night is over, happy again

So, maybe I'll see you there
You can forget your troubles
Forget all your cares, and go,downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waitin' for you, tonight, downtown
It′s gonna be all right now

So listen to the rhythm of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon lights are pretty
How can you lose?

So, maybe I′ll see you there
You can forget your troubles
Forget all your cares, and go downtown
Things'll be great when you′re downtown
Don't wait a minute more, downtown
Ev′rything's waitin′ for you
