Bruce Springsteen - Whitetown lyrics

Mary Ann on the avenue Girl all dressed up in Kensington blue Down where the hammer falls She's born and bred within Whitetown walls Each and every thing slowly pa**es away She moves alone along the narrow street From a pa**ing car she hears the music play Beneath the "El" she starts to sway Down in Whitetown, oh yeah Down in Whitetown, oh yeah Down in Whitetown Johnny's just trying to make his way He's got a job but mister it don't pay He sits and counts the scars On a stool down the end of a Whitetown bar And the old men here piss their lives away Drinking and joking about their cop-fighting days Ain't no answers here, just the past and fear Of spending the rest of your days Down in Whitetown, oh yeah Down in Whitetown, oh yeah Down in Whitetown Hoo hoo, hoo hoo Da da da Hoo hoo, hoo hoo Ah ah ah In a dream salvation comes with a beat Or the sound of breaking gla** and running feet The beat that echoes down through the streets Mary Ann dances on Down in Whitetown, oh yeah Down in Whitetown Down in Whitetown, oh yeah Down in Whitetown, oh yeah Down in Whitetown Hoo hoo, hoo hoo Oh oh oh Hoo hoo, hoo hoo Da da da Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
