Downtown Life Lyrics

Downtown Life

 Daryl Hall And John Oates

 Music by D. Hall, J. Oates, R. Iantosca

 Lyrics by D. Hall, J. Oates, S. Allen

 

 Ah yeah,

 Oh, oh, yeah

 No doubt

 Do it downtown in from the outside

 Yeah, find the scene & work it brother

 Moving thru sound

 City's like wild life

 All overgrown & living undercover

 And wound up so tight

 

 (We love the Downtown Life)

 Downtime life baby

 (Driftin' thru the day waiting for the nite, oh oh)

 Oh

 (Downtown Life)

 (it feels so right)

 Feels so right

 (It keeps me hangin' on, hangin' on)

 

 So listen now

 Velvet Lou was a neighbor of mine

 Now he walks the dog in Jersey, Brother

 Yuppies in black with the white collar crime

 They scared away the local color

 But they can't steal the nite

 

 (We love the Downtown Life)

 Downtown life baby

 (Driftin' thru the day waiting for the nite, oh oh)

 Oh

 (Downtown Life it feels so right)

 Feels so right

 (It keeps me hangin' on) on

 

 (Downtown Life)

 Oh you'll be downtown life baby

 (Drifting thru the day waiting for the nite to come)

 Waiting for the nite to come

 (Downtown Life it feels so right)

 (It keeps me hangin' on)

 Hangin' hangin' hangin' hangin' hangin' on

 

 My baby knows she's got to go for this kind of life

 `Cause city life 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 the Queen of Hearts fall too

 She says, "If you believe this is only a lonely time,

 Stay at home boy the blues are lost on you"

 Ain't it true

 

 (We love the Downtown Life)

 Downtown life baby

 (Drifting thru the day waiting for the nite, oh)

 We're waiting for the night to fall

 (Downtown Life it feels so right)

 It feels so right

 (It keeps me hangin' on) on

 

 (Downtown Life)

 Downtown life baby

 (Drifting thru the day waiting for the nite to come)

 To come

 (Downtown Life)

 And it feels and it feels so right

 (And it feels so right)

 (It keeps me hangin') oh

 Downtown Life

 (Downtown Life it keeps me hangin' on)

 Hangin' hangin' on to Downtown Life

 (Downtown Life it keeps me hangin')

 Hangin' on

 (Downtown Life)

 You want the Downtown Life

 (Drifting thru the day waiting for the night)

 Drifting, waiting, hangin' on hangin' on to Downtown Life

 (Downtown Life it keeps me hangin')

 You want the Downtown Life

 (Downtown Life)

 Hangin' on hangin' on

 (Drifting thru the nite waiting for the night)

 Hangin' on to Downtown Life

 (Downtown Life it keeps me hangin')

 Hangin' on to Downtown Life
