Downtown Saga Lyrics - Jerry Leger

Are you asking for pleasure? 

Splashed across the parking lot? 

Let me grab my rifle and aim for the tender spot 

Watch you dance into the river 

Swinging your arms like a chain 

The one that binds me 

When someone else has got a hold of your name 

When I'm whistling 

I'm sitting on top of the world 

Do your ears believe me or question 

What I'd do that for? 

The days now look like murders 

Crime scenes black and white 

Bruising my opinions 

Of your kind of wrong and right 

Could you be my admirer 

Or the one that shoots me down in the cold 

Would you be my supplier 

Or wait for the covers to unfold 

I'll pound on these shackles 

Til something feels like it's going to break 

Could be the twilight vision that's making me sick 

I got my hands on the maker 

And she's looking real good 

She told me if I was willing to go with her, I could 

And she loosens the bow in her curls 

Let's it fall down her back 

And I cover my Chaplin smile 

As she takes off my hat 

She looks like a shadow 

Could be anyone 

It feels like tomorrow 

Feels like something that I've already done 

I cough and I cackle 

She asks if I'm feeling insecure 

I say, "No, it's just your plain expression 

That's making me unsure" 

I listen to the street noise 

Wakes me out of my sleep 

I'm sitting on the ledge 

Thinking about the devil and the deep blue sea
