goin' downtown

i could cool out

i could hang loose

i could lay my head back in this comfortable noose

i could watch the paint dry

on these rented walls

or i could run wild with the first wild thing that calls

goin' downtown. goin' downtown

goin' downtown. to stand 'round and stare

and put people down for not being there

goin' downtown. and i'll see you there

but i saw you laugh

at that girl having fun

to show some emotion. just isn't done

you can look but don't touch

that's as far as it goes

you're only as good as the cut of your clothes

goin' downtown. goin' downtown

goin' downtown. to stand 'round and stare

and put people down for not being there

goin' downtown. and i'll see you there
