Hall & Oates - Downtown Life lyrics

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
