Downtown Life Lyrics - Hall & Oates

Ah yeah 

Oh, oh, yeah 

No doubt 

Do it downtown in from the outside 

Yeah, find the scene and work it brother 

Moving through sound cities like wild life 

All overgrown and 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 

Downtown Life, it 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 

Driftin' through the day 

Waitin' for the nite, oh oh 

Downtown Life, it feels so right 

It keeps me hangin' on, hangin' on 

We love the Downtown Life 

Gettin' through the night 

Waiting for the nite to come 

Downtown Life, it feels so right 

It keeps me 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 sunlight 

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 

Driftin' through the day 

Waitin' for the nite, oh oh 

Downtown Life, it feels so right 

It keeps me hangin' on, hangin' on 

Downtime life 

Gettin' through the night 

Waitin' for the nite to come 

Downtown Life 

It feels so right 

It keeps me hangin' on 

Downtown Life 

Downtown Life, it keeps me hangin' on 

Downtown Life, it keeps me hangin' 

Driftin' through the day 

Waiting for the nite 

Driftin', waitin' 

Hangin' on, hangin on' 

Downtown Life 

It keeps me hangin' on 

Gettin' through the nite 

Waitin' for the nite
