B-52's, The - Downtown lyrics

When you're alone, and life is making you lonely

You can always go

Downtown

When you've got worries, all the noise and hurry

Seems to help, i know

Downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,

Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty

How can you lose? the lights are much brighter there...

You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go

Downtown -- things will be great when you're

Downtown -- you'll find a place for sure

Downtown -- everything's waiting for you

Downtown .... downtown...

Don't hang around, and let your problems surround you,

There are movie shows

Downtown

Maybe you know some little places to go to

Where they never close

Downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova

You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over,

Happy again...

The lights are much brighter there,

You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go

Downtown -- where all the lights are bright

Downtown -- waiting for you tonight

Downtown -- you're gonna be all right now...

Downtown...downtown...downtown...

Downtown!

Downtown!

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you;

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to

Guide them along...

So maybe i'll see you there,

We can forget all our troubles; forget all our cares, and go

Downtown -- things will be great when you're

Downtown -- don't wait a minute more

Downtown -- everything's waiting for you...

Downtown...downtown

Downtown...downtown

Downtown...downtown

Downtown...downtown

Downtown...downtown (fade)
