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
