Hall & Oates
Downtown Life
Music by Daryl Hall, John Oates, Rick Iontosca
Lyrics by Daryl Hall, John Oates, Sara Allen
Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene & work it brother
Moving thru sound
City`s like wild life
Overgrown & living undercover
Wound up so tight
We love the Downtown Life
Driftin` thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Life. it feels so right
It keeps me hangin` on
Velvet Lou was a neighbor of mine
Now he walks the dog in Jersey, Brother
Yuppies in black doin` white collar crime
Scared away the. local color
But they can`t steal the nite
We love the Downtown Life
Driftin` thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin` on
Downtown Life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the lite to come
Downtown Life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin` on
My baby knows she`s got to go for this kind of life
`Cause city love can`t stand. to see the sunlite
Dawn patrol better leave me alone
`Cause I can only take it for so long
Going down isn`t hard to do
The King of Clubs and.Queen of Hearts fall too
She says, "If you believe this is only a lonely time,
stay at home boys the blues are lost on you"
Ain`t it true
We love the Downtown Life
Drifting thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin` on
Downtown Life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the night to come
Downtown Life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin` on
