Downtown Tom Waits

[Verse 1]
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, everything's alright"

[Chorus]
Goin' downtown
Down, downtown
Goin' down downtown

[Verse 2]
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 streets, but it's so hard to think

[Chorus]
Goin' downtown
Down, downtown
Goin' down downtown

[Verse 3]
Frankie's wearin' lipstick, Pierre Cardin
I swear to God, I seen him holdin' hands with Jimmy Bones
Sally's high on crank, hungry for some sweets
Femme in the sheets, but she's butch in the streets
