Rockin' Downtown Lyrics - Singles - Agans Craig

It all started one day when the clouds obscured the sun 

The whole town was turned upside down, even ice queens were on the run 

The temperture was rising, there was fire in the stack, 

and the folks down at city hall had tried to turn the whole thing back 

Out on the street several did parade concern 

but no more for the cause than for the time to burn 

The cops had warned 'em fairly that mildly outlaw gang 

that they had it comin', they were goin' out with a bang.. 

But life went on as usual in that smokey familiar place 

where your hard pressed to remember a name let alone a face 

But all the same they know you, and you in turn know them 

but if it's a time of need, they aren't what you'd call a friend 

Johnny was the first one hit, blown up in his car 

He'd been a hard working man, but he'd gone a little too far 

As the fire burned the masses took to the street 

you could see every strange character you could ever meet.. 

The bars still made it open till half past ten, 

but none of them ever made it open again 

The fire swept thru everything, noone could escape 

they were cutting logs for a video, they ran out of tape 

Cameras couldn't catch the flames, they were a minute late 

They couldn't design history, it's all left up to fate 

Everything was burned to dust, the moon it came up red 

and there was nobody left to hear what wasn't said.. 

I woke up again the next morning out of this crazy dream 

I made a pot of coffee and I ran out of cream 

Betty the next door neighbor was hanging up her clothes 

across the street they were mopping up, the night before their pipes had 

froze 

But the temp was warming, the day and sky were clear 

as I walked across the melting ice a cracking sound I did hear 

I no longer saw my shadow, I realized I had to run 

that's when I noticed that the clouds, had obscured the sun..
