Downtown lyrics

Red Pants and the Sugarman in the Temple Street gloom

Drinkin chivas regal in a four dollar room

Just another dead soldier in a powder blue light

Sugarman says baby everythings alright

Goin downtown down downtown

Goin down downtown

Montclaire de Havelin doin the St. Vitus dance

Lookin for someone to chop the lumber in his pants

How am I gonna unload all of this ice and all this mink

All the traffic in the street but it's so hard to think

Goin downtown down downtown

Goin down downtown

Frankie's wearin lipstick le cardin

I swear to god I seen him holdin hands with Jimmy Bond

Sally's high on crank and hungry for some sweets

Fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets

Goin downtown down downtown

Goin down downtown

It's the cool of the evening the sun's goin down

I want to hold you in my arms I want to push you around

I wanna break your bottle and spill out all your charms

Come on baby we'll set off all the burglar alarms

Goin downtown down downtown

Goin down downtown

Red Pants and the Sugarman in the Temple Street gloom

Are drinkin chivas regal in a four dollar room

Just another dead soldier in a powder blue night

Red Pants says to Sugarman said everything's alright

Goin downtown down downtown

Goin down downtown
