Downtown
John Waite
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I wait for sundown on the fire escape And watch the passing cars downstairs I'm high above Korean groceries A sublet castle in the air It's down to cigarettes and rosaries Christ, I wish someone would call me Johnny Thunders on the radio Ah but "you can't put your arms Around a memory" Maybe I could find a better way But all I need is to feel connected now Do you remember me I sang that song you like I sang that song for free Now someone else sounds like me As I make my way downtown Downtown Oh yeah Downtown See the old men on the Bowery Take the night train to the stars You can find me in the usual place Inside the Temple Bar I hear that Sally's got a gift for me I hear she found it on St. Mark's These days they all just talk like poetry And shoot their mouths off shooting sparks Maybe I could find a better way But all I need now is to feel connected Do you remember me I sang that song you like Way back in eighty-three Number one High as a kite As I made my way downtown Downtown Oh yeah Downtown They've got paper cups for charity Kools, pills and broken teeth, and dope But I'll take another dry martini And a chance on hope And now someone else waits for me And I got to get downtown Downtown Oh yeah Downtown I'm going way downtown Oh yeah I'm gonna see the man I'm going way downtown See the man Going down yeah I'm gonna see the man Going downtown Do you remember me
