Downtown Life Daryl Hall & John Oates

Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene & work it brother
Moving through sound
City's like wild life
Overgrown and living undercover
Wound up so tight

We love the downtown life
Driftin' through the day
Waiting for the night, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Velvet Lou was a neighbor of mine
Now he walks the dog in Jersey, brother
Yuppies in black doin' white-collar crime
They scared away the local color
But they can't steal the night

We love the downtown life
Driftin' through the day
Waiting for the night, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Downtown life
Drifting through the night
Waiting for the light to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on
