Browne Jackson Downtown Lyrics

Downtown Lyrics

Downtown people gotta work a little harder working downtown

 Downtown they got to think a little quicker 'cause they're downtown

 Downtown the breaks are harder

 Downtown the thieves are smarter

 

 I've got this place I'm renting

 It cost me next to nothing downtown

 Nobody comes around telling me I gotta turn the sound down

 Broadway -- down on the corner

 The bible screamer, the plasma donor

 Buses, carhorns, ghetto blasters

 The shouts and cries of the human disasters

 

 It's all music

 It's all music

 Downtown

 It's all music

 It's all music

 

 I feel alright when I'm downtown

 My feet are light when I'm downtown

 I cast my hopes on the human tide

 I place my bet and let it ride

 I'm open wide when I'm downtown

 

 Downtown there's every kind of people walkin' round downtown

 Downtown there's every language, every human sound downtown

 Downtown the nights are longer

 Downtown the sights are stronger

 Downtown wandering all around downtown

 It's all music

 

 Eight blocks south of city hall

 The rats run free and the winos crawl

 Darkness falls on the vast machine

 Where the future stalks the American dream

 

 I feel alright when I'm downtown

 My head feels light when I'm downtown

 It's all in sight when I'm downtown

 I feel alright when I'm downtown
