[al: Best]
[ti: Downtown]
[length: 05:09]
[00:12.35]I wait for sundown on the fire escape
[00:17.92]And watch the passing cars downstairs
[00:23.42]I’m high above Korean groceries
[00:28.18]A sublet castle in the air
[00:34.69]It’s down to cigarettes and rosaries
[00:40.40]Christ, I wish someone would call me
[00:45.93]Johnny Thunders on the radio
[00:50.96]Ah but “you can’t put your arms
[00:54.26]Around a memory”
[00:57.19]Maybe I could find a better way
[01:02.82]But all I need is to feel connected now
[01:08.68]Do you remember me
[01:14.28]I sang that song you like
[01:19.96]I sang that song for free
[01:25.33]Now someone else sounds like me
[01:33.43]As I make my way downtown
[01:40.04]Downtown
[01:42.47]Oh yeah
[01:44.75]Downtown
[01:48.39]See the old men on the Bowery
[01:53.68]Take the night train to the stars
[01:59.23]You can find me in the usual place
[02:04.86]Inside the Temple Bar
[02:08.00]I hear that Sally’s got a gift for me
[02:16.18]I hear she found it on St. Mark’s
[02:21.58]These days they all just talk like poetry
[02:26.41]And shoot their mouths off shooting sparks
[02:33.17]Maybe I could find a better way
[02:38.00]But all I need now is to feel connected
[02:44.65]Do you remember me
[02:50.14]I sang that song you like
[02:55.55]Way back in eighty-three
[03:00.57]Number one
[03:06.07]High as a kite
[03:09.64]As I made my way downtown
[03:14.77]Downtown
[03:18.47]Oh yeah
[03:20.68]Downtown
[03:24.33]They’ve got paper cups for charity
[03:28.93]Kools, pills and broken teeth, and dope
[03:34.88]But I’ll take another dry martini
[03:39.16]And a chance on hope
[03:57.72]And now someone else waits for me
[04:05.37]And I got to get downtown
[04:11.52]Downtown
[04:14.76]Oh yeah
[04:16.90]Downtown
[04:19.97]I’m going way downtown
[04:23.33]Oh yeah
[04:25.66]I’m gonna see the man
[04:28.37]I’m going way downtown
[04:31.01]See the man
[04:33.79]Going down yeah
[04:36.84]I’m gonna see the man
[04:39.42]Going downtown
[04:42.97]Do you remember me
