Down and Out Downtown Songtext
von St. Vincent

Last night′s heels on the morning train
It's a long way back downtown

Ten missed calls, they don′t know where you are
It's a long way back downtown

Hey, I was flying (flying, flying, flying)
Over the Empire State (over, away)
Then you kissed me (kissed me, kissed me)
And I crashed again


When did it start? This feeling, so wrong
When you're down and out downtown
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Bowery John
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) forgotten, but not gone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) praying at St. Ann′s
Bodega roses in my hands (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Down and out downtown
And the Joker with that funny laugh is
Digging through the basement of my past
It′s a long way back down, down and out downtown

Hey, I was flying (flying, flying, flying)
Over the Empire State (over, away)
When you kissed me (kissed me, kissed me, kissed me)
And I crashed again

Ooh, ooh
