[Verse 1: Terry Kath]
Walking through the fog on a cold, cloudy night (Yes, I am)
Looking through the smog that surrounds the morning light, yeah
The shades of brown, it gets me down, exactly like my life
I don't deserve this hand I'm dealt; a flush in spades of strife, yeah

[Verse 2: Terry Kath]
I'm tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore (Baby doll)
So I'm rounding up my broken things, heading on out that door-oh-oh
Without no lag, I've packed my bag of discontented frowns
And hopping number eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound

[Chorus: Bandmates, Terry Kath]
Uptown, yeah
Uptown, gonna get it all out
Uptown
Uptown, inside my brain
Uptown
Uptown
Uptown
Uptown

[Bridge: Terry Kath]
Got my bag of many frowns and I'm taking it on uptown, yeah
Takin' it on up, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Talkin' 'bout a
Big city lights
Funkier nights, baby
Happier days
Are going my way
It should be right
But I'm still uptight
Time I better put down
And get moving on, hey, tell me 'bout a
