Down Town Songtext
von Marianne Faithfull

When you′re alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries
All the noise and the hurry seems to help, I know
Downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go downtown
Things will be great when you′re downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everything's waiting for you (downtown, downtown)
(Downtown, downtown)

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


Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa-nova
You′ll be dancing with them, too, before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go downtown
Where all the lights are bright
Downtown
Waiting for you tonight
Downtown
You′re gonna be all right now (downtown, downtown)
(Downtown, downtown)
(Downtown, downtown)

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares


And go downtown
Things will be great when you′re
Downtown
Don't wait a minute more
Downtown
Everything′s waiting for you (downtown, downtown)

(Downtown, downtown)
(Downtown, downtown)
(Downtown, downtown)
